Hello, I’ve made a post on my blog to promote the similar work of Rose-Marie Loisy visible on this link : http://www.indelebile.fr/extra/index.html. It’s an urban alphabet.
Thanks for your article. I’ve stolen you some links for my post but I’ve put a link to you site.
Cheers from France.

I’ve always loved the butterfly alphabet. Don’t get the point of the paperclip alphabet, really. But … meat alphabet FTW!
