We were contacted by an artist called Katie Holten. Katie lives in America, but she grew up in Ireland, and her latest project has been the Irish Tree Alphabet.
Katie was inspired by Ireland’s ancient Ogham alphabet to create a new version. Each tree represents a letter in the alphabet.
If you go to the website of the Irish Tree Alphabet, you can write your own message and see it come out as trees! You can even send this message to your friends. And you can download the font, so that you can write in trees on your own computer. There’s also a poster that you can print out.
I think this is cool! It is very interesting and it helps us connect trees with what we write everyday. I’ve written something for you above. See if you can work out that it means!
