Playing with type

I've been trying out some new techniques in my spare time whilst experimenting with type. I really like hand-rendered type, so I started off with just a few quick doodles in one of my sketchbooks. However, the result when scanned in to the computer isn't anywhere near as effective as seeing it in person, so using a few editing tools here and there, the results are a little more interesting. My favourite from this small selection is the '&' piece, which uses sweet wrappers and foil, and I think the texture created translates really well on screen.
