Fairground Typography

My day was spent experimenting with different ways of forming circus/fairground letters.

I discovered a technique in which I glue thread onto different surfaces, guiding it to vaguely show the original letter shapes.

I wanted the swirls and everything that makes this kind of typography stand out to occur a bit more naturally, so let the thread manoeuvre it's way around the surface as I blow dried it.

I tried the same technique with wool too but it wasn't nearly as defined or attractive as the thread.

I'm planning on creating an entire alphabet using different materials and media to create letters...

See you in a decade.
