Some more details about the project
Letters take about an hour to draw out and anywhere from 3-5 hours to
cut depending on the level of detail and my attention span. I've used Arches 90lb watercolor paper - cold press.
My favorite letter depends on the day. Somedays I like Leave because of the intricacy and some days I am fond of the Newts, because they are some of my favorite little creatures that I get to see when I run in the evenings.
In the evening I can drink 2 small glasses of wine and still cut
without any significant loss of motor skills. I drink 2-3 pints of
tea a day but cannot drink coffee while cutting because it makes my
hands shake to much.

I have never actually cut myself. It took over 60 #11 exact-o blades to cut the 26 letters. I have most of the bits I cut out in a ziplock bag - paper cut confetti.
The inspiration for the project - nature, obsession, the letters on
Barbara and Christopher's wall.
