Many thanks- but- I'm sorry for the handwriting. I hesitated to do this, thinking about legibility! For this one, I tried writing slowly- albeit with a wooden 2B graphite pencil !
I continue to find pleasure at visiting your blog, and this post is especially enjoyable. Not only your writing, but the accompanying photographs are well conceived.
I frequent several of the pencil-fondling websites, but so far the bug hasn't bitten. In the meantime I enjoy your writing.
I understand, Joe, and as much as I enjoy the materials of creative processes... these are just the tools. And quite mysteriously, we transform them into something iconographic when we express with them.
Strikethru- Yes- I'm hoping to work on the type journal entry this weekend! My Mom gave me the pencil box when I was in high school (it was already old). There's a special word for this type of box: "plumier," in French. (A feather-bearer!)
it's so nice to dream of all the places we'll go someday but not everyone can actually achieve it, I'm not a big fan of travel but sometimes it's nice to think of going to this place and that place, I guess I never quite understand how certain places makes people feel until I have gone there myself
but they all say it's the journey that counts but I think it's equal with the destination - people don't randomly go just anywhere
- that's my thought -
I like your handwriting, at times hard to read but it's certainly nicer than mine, kind of old fashion
That's gorgeous enough to make me want pencils. No small feat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!~Sharon

I can't read your handwriting (which is really pretty), but pencils? Wow, I want some too!

Tell me about the pencil box. Is it yours? Suddenly feeling the need to amass huge collection of vintage pencil boxes.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you are submitting a photo to my typewriter journal!

I love your handwriting-it is beautiful! Mine is so hard to read, even by myself! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's what I liked best in this post: "As with gazing at stars, what is visible are the waters left by celestial movements."
Beautiful, heavenly! You are tremendously creative!
