Description: | |
[Image above is a handwritten electricity ad, circa 1938. See it full size here] I've just got a new fountain pen. It writes so much more smoothly than my old one, and it makes me want to write...well, something รขโฌโ I'm not sure exactly what, at the moment. For this swap, you will send your partner a handwritten 'something' รขโฌโ could be a short story, a letter, a poem, a recipe, even an entire zine (go on, I dare you! ;-) ). You could even write about your favourite pen, or which inks you like to use; the choice is entirely yours! The only stipulations are:
Just to clarify, this can be written with any pen you like! The swap was inspired by my latest fountain pen acquisition, but you can you whatever pen/pens/writing implement you are comfortable with. We want to see the crossings out & the ink smudges รขโฌโ we want to see your character!
Handwriting might be a dying 'art' but it's kind of pointless to send a handwritten 'something' that your partner can't actually read... 2 partners = 2 handwritten somethings sent, and 2 handwritten somethings received The obvious bit |
