I started with something simple, by weaving the thread through the mesh gaps, creating the fill for the letter 'c'.

# data[].attributes.body
But I did not like the flatness of the letter as compared to its companions, thus I proceeded to explore with some weaving and some extra beading, making the beads form little flowers floating around the letter.

# data[].attributes.body
For 'r' I used a simple cross stitch technique to create the mini 'x's. However using the mesh was tedious as I could not work with the usual square grid that regular cross stitch fabrics would have. I had to improvise and manually count the gaps to create the stitches that follow the mesh.

At this point I felt playful and wanted to do some beading for the 'r' to make it a bit more 'princess-y'.

'a' was a an interesting letter with a round part. Thus I thought it would be a good chance to try embroidering a coloured yarn onto the mesh. This creates a spiral shape forming the 'a'.

# data[].attributes.body
At this point I did not like how the tail of the 'a' looked. Thus I removed the thread to redo the curvature.

For 'f' I used the same technique as 'c', where I weave through the mesh. But instead this time I weaved horizontally instead of diagonally.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it would be interesting to use the cross stitch pattern as a 'shadow' for the letter. I used 2 threads to create this pattern on the side of the 'f'.

# data[].attributes.body
When I was cross stitching 'r', I found the back side of the pattern really interesting and I ended up flipping the project over, and explored cross stitching from the inverted side. This resulted in a different pattern, using the same technique.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw an opportunity in using the loops created to weave another colour thread through. This then helped to create another interesting pattern!

# data[].attributes.body
I explored with using the same cross stitch technique, but change the scale of the crosses. I then used two colours of yarn and thread to create the cross pattern.

# data[].attributes.body
The 'i' looked very naked at this point, so I gave it a shiny 'cherry on top' with a blue beading.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the inverted cross stitch pattern from 't', thus I used it again for 'v'.

# data[].attributes.body
But this time instead of weaving a thread through, I wanted to explore using beads to outline the letter.

# data[].attributes.body
I initally wanted to use the wooden 'i' here and use the thread to wrap around, creating a puffy letter.
But I thought it would be a waste to not use crochet in the cover. It was a technique I have not applied here yet!

# data[].attributes.body
So I decided to proceed with the crochet 'i' instead. This time, for the top of the 'i', I gave it a little flower with a beading in the centre.

# data[].attributes.body
For 's' and 'm', I wanted to try using techniques that I have not used yet! This was similar to the technique used in 'a' but instead of a thin yarn I used a thick cord string as the skeletal structure for me to wrap the thread around.

# data[].attributes.body
Lastly for the 'm', I thought it would be cute to add a finishing touch of something sweet and pastel. I felt this piece of ribbon was suitable and I finally found a purpose for it, because it was too-pretty-for-me-to-use-so-I-kept-it-for-so-long.

I really liked the results, especially with the newly added subtle tone-on-tone texture.
