Vintage rocks!

Tippy tappy old skool typewriter. Old remembered schooldays A to Zee rubber stamps, next to wet ink pads full of muted earthy colours to be delivered, albeit awry, onto handmade Indian papers. Whilst writing with beautiful choices of early to mid 1900’s dip nibs in wonderful varieties and choices. They get placed lovingly into tactile wooden holders. Which produce the energy and therapy of ‘Dickensian’. Nibs and wooden shafts dipped into inkwells with subsequent considered inks of varying hues. Trying out ancient script shapes isn’t a sought discipline. Just an interesting attempt at creating calligraphy shapes that hold fascination to the eyes of beholders. There is always an excitement of what today and tomorrow can still bring from the applications of vintage yesteryear. But there is also a fascination in applying vintage to new ideas for script too.

And so the story goes
To where?
No one knows.
Born from?
Well! Out of promises.
Not worn out wishes.

Love vintage. You have to work at keeping it valid….but, when it produces it’s intentions, with room to develop it’s reasons for existing still, and with application can still improve your skills once again……it is worth it’s weight in gold.…….
