Pretty in Produce

I have even more alphabets for Hand Letters class!  Last week, I made a texture out of India ink markers, graphite, and mascara.  This week, I scanned that page into Photoshop and pulled out letter forms from the texture.  Because of this project, I have found a new love for the magnetic lasso tool.

For homework this week, on top of the weekly alphabet sketch, the class had to make an alphabet out of produce.  We could either draw food or take pictures of food ourselves, so I went to the dining hall, grabbed all the fruits and veggies I could carry (without angering the people who work there TOO MUCH), and got to work.  I have two pieces because I have a border around the "R" in my original composition and although I really like how it looks, none of the other letters are like thar, so I cut it out in the second one.  Also, I made two "A" letters, but didn't have the heart to cut one of them out.  Anyone have a preference?
