Alphabet-Number Collage (Found Alphabet Wildcard #3) by olivetreeann

Alphabet-Number Collage (Found Alphabet Wildcard #3)

Well, here we are, February 29, the final day of the Found Alphabet Challenge, so it seemed fitting to post a shot of all the letters and numbers today (minus zero because it's nothing!). And I felt that I would be remiss if I did not tip my hat to a fellow who's probably taught the alphabet to more children than any other person, or bird, I know- Big Bird of Sesame Street. Here's his rendition of the alphabet:

ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen,
ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
I wish I knew exactly what I mean.
It starts out like an "A" word as anyone can see,
But somewhere in the middle it gets awful "QR" to me!
ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
If I ever find out just what this word can mean,
I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen!

Music and lyrics by Joe Raposo and Jon Stone

Hope you enjoyed my month long challenge!
Well done Ann, this was so fun to watch and read!

@louisefrance Thanks Louise- yes I want to make it into a poster for my granddaughter (probably with just the letters).
@sgoodin1 Thank you Sara!
@alia_801 Thanks Alia!
@simster Thanks Simmy!
@tklein Thanks Tina! Looking at the "March Photo A Day" challenge posted by Amy Hughes. Interesting list- but a couple I'm picking my own words for since they're repeats of other challenges I did recently.
@karenann Thanks Karenann- I will have to print them all out so I can remember all that good stuff!
@kimmistephens Thank you Kimmi!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick!
@sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry!

@potsbypam Thanks Pam- I've seen others do an alphabet challenge and they did a collage at the end, so I thought I'd do one too.
March 1st, 2012  
Congratulatins Ann, you did so well with this challenge.

Bev

March 1st, 2012  
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole!
@prttblues Thanks Bev!
On to the next one!
March 1st, 2012  
as you now know, i did a far more difficult chore of photographing in macro those little flags in an encyclopedia for my finale. this is a wonderful collage.
March 2nd, 2012  
@summerfield Thanks Vikki- you raised the bar! You get to be the next Challenge Master!
March 2nd, 2012  
@olivetreeann - hahaha! i challenge everyone to not take a photo of any kind for 30 days.

nah, i can't be challenge master. all i meant to say was that instead of making a collage of my alphabet photos, i was foolish to have photographed those little flags. i got so stressed that's probably why i had vertigo. as my partner always tells me, why do i always have to be different or why do i always have to do things the hard way? i apologize if that came across as something else, ann, as i didn't mean it that way. you may slap me now with a wet noodle.
March 3rd, 2012  
@summerfield Oh I understood you were joking and poking fun at yourself for photographing the flags- I was joking with you as well- I hope it didn't sound like I was offended- I was kidding about the Challenge Master (the title of which I made up, there really is no such thing!). But that being said, you must always do things differently because you are a very creative person- and average or easy is just not part of your vocab! And because of that, I actually think you'd come up with a very creative challenge for us to do, should you ever decide to do a challenge for us. So there will be no slapping with wet noodles tonight- just a good laugh between friends.

@olivetreeann - thank heavens! i was hoping you didn't get offended and i'm quite relieved. but upon reading my comment again, i thought it might have sounded haughty and/or whiney and i felt horrible. thank you, ann.
March 3rd, 2012  
Wow, this is the coolest collage! Great job!
March 4th, 2012  
@deniseinindy Thanks Denise- I want to turn it into a poster for my granddaughter.
March 4th, 2012  
Looks great Ann. Nice take on the numbers. I thought about carrying on with numbers but actually decided that 'found' number shapes would be much more difficult.
March 5th, 2012  
@joannapayne They were hard to find in the same fashion of the alphabet which is why I ended up going for the count rather than the shape. Thanks Joanna!
