To say one is in love with type is really saying you love life. I don’t know but maybe builders love buildings and architects love architecture? I love music but I can also hate music, it all depends on the finished piece! Obviously, this a complex topic and already I’m starting to think I don’t quite have enough mental fortitude on a Friday to explore it in the detail it deserves . . . I know one thing though, I’m in love with type.

Faber Castell make a lovely range of pens called the ‘PITT® artist pen’. These pens use India Ink and do not smudge when painted over using watercolour. In fact, the only thing we have to provide is artistic talent and then the world of watercolour painting is our oyster. Treat yourself and buy some now, before we all completely lose the ability to make marks on paper using a pen!

One of the greatest joys of a new day is starting with a clean sheet of paper. Everything is possible from that moment and it’s a lovely feeling. The day doesn’t always continue in that vein but at least we know we can ‘set to zero’ each day and give ourselves another chance to shine!
