Yesterday’s beautiful, magical frost and fog lingered all day and made me giddy. I love this weather, and will never understand why anyone would wish to live in permanent summertime… . In other news, the second post in my 50 to 50 series
This colour is made of words. Every morning I practise calligraphy, in walnut brown ink on white dotted paper, transcribing favourite books, line by line, page by page. And then I tear them all up, turn them into pulp, and give them new life as textu
