My lil Mini's

For our next project in type we are using miniature objects on a grid to create a bitmap font. A bitmap font is created out of the pixels on a screen. In a bitmap font the pixels enlarge with the letter. So when sizing a bitmap letter the pixels get small and bigger with the letter; so each pixel or box is always visible. 
We are using small objects to create the alphabet in bitmap form so each object is a pixel.
My miniature ideas:

• dice
• barbie shoes
• pop tabs
• beer caps 
• wine corks
• thimbles 
• spools of thread
• cotton balls 
• bouncy balls 
• marbles 
• bells 
• wiggly eyes (google eyes as I like to call them) 

Right now, thinking of  actually finding some of theses objects in mass is a bit difficult so I have silver bells and googly eyes so far... tomorrow in class we will discuss which will work best! We are going to be spelling words out on a grid with our miniatures.
