This time around for the Alpha Challenge the letter assigned to us for word illustration is U
I've selected the word Ulster.
A great benefit of this project is learning words I've not ever known before.
Never before have I ever read practically every word in any dictionary...who does that?! But when this project reaches it's end, that's exactly what I will have done! Who woulda guessed.

And we are learning right along with you. Did you hand draw the Ulster pattern - great job! I see this challenge is also to find a word that you can depict with a picture! Double challenge!
Awesome.
Ullage would be another good U word.
Don't know where you come up with the images to embellish your words, but you do a bang-up job! Love the ones you choose!
Lovely page
I hadn't realised by the end of the year I will have 'read' an entire dictionary!
How much have you retained? Is your vocabulary considerable more impressive now?
Hi Annie, it's always good to learn something new isn't it? Great pages - love those pattern pieces, and your gentleman looks very dapper. MMx
Nice one, Annie, I don't think anyone else will have chosen "Ulster". I like the pattern too. What a lovely vintage dictionary this is turning out to be.
Even with the picture I had to go look the word up. Great job with the picture and the pattern. Love it!
Now that is a new word! I'm glad that went out of style.......love your dictionary pages!
What a fascinating project you've given yourself! You're going to be one learned gal when this is finished! I love this man's ulster, brilliant vintage image. Julie Ann xx
Not many people can claim that! But then, you and your art are quite wonderfully unique.
What an unusual word Annie and beautifully depicted! I am also envious of your dictionary with the finger indents:)

I love this project and how it stretches us to read the actual dictionary. Wouldn't this be a fun school project for a teacher. If they didn't want to use an actual book they could merely photocopy pages. I have to tell you I actually used your last word selection. I told my neighbor he was very fop. Hahaha...not so funny to him. I had to explain to everyone around. At least I had a good laugh. Happy Creative Hearts Dear...
Apart from being artistically pleasing your entry is also educational!!! :) Have a great day!
Hi Annie, a new word for me too! Love that character, reminds me of Shirlock Holmes. Hugs Frea
Do you use these new words every so often too? I think reading the whole dictionary is quite an accomplishment.
I only manage to read the letters with fewer words the others I just skip through. U is definitely filled with negatives but your word is great.
We are all learning new words from your dictionary - the gentleman looks very regal!
Love seeing your pages, Annie! This has been a great project so far. Your gentleman looks handsome, not like a fop. LOL
Hey Annie - how very clever!! I did not know this word. My fathers, an ulster. All gentlemen should have an ulster. You even supplied us with a pattern. How kind of you!

Great word to use, love the pattern piece.
Yes it's definitely an educational challenge. Never knew an Ulster was a coat but I do now!! Lovely page.
Ah very clever Annie, wel done.
Awesome word choice, its a new one for me. Fabulous pages and image.

And I thought it was a town in Northern Ireland! Well done you for finding such a great new word and illustrations it just right. BJ
I've learned a lot of new words too, thanks to your creative genius. Thanks for another! I'm a little worried that the end of the alphabet is fast approaching...then what? Are you going to start over just for us?
LOL, new words to me too!! Love what you did! Thanks for some education with this fabulous project!!
It's not very surprising but it's also a new word to me :)
Wonderful work and very inspiring! I love visiting your pages!
Didn't know I have an ulster but thanks to you I realize that I do! Great take!
A new word for me too.. it's amazing how educational this little challenge is turning out to be....love your clever 'U' pages Annie (as always!) :)
A new one on me thought Ulster was in Ireland.....fabulous page as always

Great word choice.Every time I opened my dictionary after seeing your page the word jumped out at me but prior to that I never 'saw' it. Love how you have done your page - simple but apt.
Great pages, pattern pieces and wonderful imagination.xxx
Forgot to mention I am now following you...luv annie
