Loving the grain from the new wooden type!
Misty morning on way to studio by the Avon Cut
Change of season calls for a change of type. Very excited about my new wooden uppercase alphabet. ( Size: 1/3 inch.) Loads of Ms and Ps and Ws and Es and As. Some are a little bit battered and there is only one i. Can't wait to print!
I love this film by Hanah Ryu Chung. It's a wonderful celebration of books and print and beautifully filmed too.
