So I came in time to check the feed :) The mentioned goose reminds me of the neighbours' cat, really rounde :)

Thanks :) you know, I find it a bit complicated to find the post itself when I see cc — I can see the comment only... am I missing any button/link here?

I'll definitely keep this in mind when vvriting with my penne, thanks @symbo1ics.bsky.social for sharing 😀

vvrite :)

Quiche with chicken & broccoli ☺️ disappeared in a minute

Yay 🌞

A new highlight in my workshop — the Postea poster has arrived!
Lemon yellow everywhere 💛
My Cyrillics. Favourite U+0431 small letter be 💛
Thanks to TypeTogether for this collaboration, and for the poster too. I just love Postea.

That's already a story! 🙂

Oh, these are lovely! 😀 I guess the person who draws these letters just has some idea of this style in mind, like "verticals are really thick" and keeps drawing them, playing with details for some variety and fun :) what do you think?

Exactly! Mine is very modest 😊 inspired by George Bickham's Universal Penman

Do you remember those decorated capitals we saw in Cambridge University Library? ;)

I've got all chances to ruin it but... fingers crossed.

Something is emerging here — a rigid contrast between pure geometry and fanciful letter that refuses to be subdued

To be carved. Did you say that’s a crazy plan? 😀

At design lectures I love seeing/hearing not only *what* they designed, but first of all *why* and *how*, explained in detail

Thank you!

New and old brushes tests and scribbles on a new red paper roll, that proved to be a good one! lucky me with this find, I might take it to York Wayzgoose for live calligraphy demo

I'm heading out on the road again to do spoken word gigs for my new book - The Buildings Archaeologist. Currently looking for reliable event organisers for shows between Oct 2026 & July 2027.

Please do share, this is a DIY operation!

Wonderful 😊

I've got a guess 😀 That was a lady and she liked your lettering! That's the most guaranteed way to survive extinction.

It’s about a lost friendship of mine

Have I shown this here? No… that’s my carving attempt from autumn, before I was blown away preparing lectures.
‘Don’t force love,’ it says.
I was given this piece of wood already starting to crack.
