I am continually looking for ways to put my nan’s typewriter to work and today was spent making a prototype for a little collection of stories 📖
I decided to focus on ‘The Women in the Stars’ (working title 😬). Five short tales about some of the constellations honouring women. Each one features a mini constellation - thank you v much asterisk key - highlighted with a light watercolour wash before being bound together using a trusty tube of PritStick 😅 not entirely sure how long it’ll stay in one piece but IT WORKS and that’s the important thing. My plan is to learn how to stitch bind it eventually but for now I shall simply bask in the perfectly imperfect.
The goal will be to create a few copies of different themes - any you’d like to see? Monsters of the skies? Villains? Heroes? Mundane objects? Let me know what you like the sound of x
