{The usual Sunday fare.}
Dear you,
And so the experiment continues. I thought I could leave, but my subjects prove of great interest to me still. They adopt all manner of funny laws and peculiar ways. They picnic outdoors with good silver, the very picture of relaxed luxury — which I could get used to. And they taunt and tease each other until they cry — which I cannot get used to. I may have a thick pelt, but not a thick skin, as the expression goes, and am reduced often to tears behind the shrubbery. ‘Just a joke, just a joke,’ they coo. ‘Don’t take it so seriously, it was only a bit of fun,’ they tell me as they glue my tail back on to my rump.
Heading soon to somewhere better for the soul, just as soon as I finish the last of the jam drops. Ruled by my stomach, kept small by their barbs, but still in awe of a great many of their ways, pulling myself free will be like pulling paw off exposed cabling.
Yours, the butt of the joke once more,
X
{A Postcard as Measuring Device}
A
Postcard as Measuring Device is a new zine of
Dear You postcard collages, including the somewhat forlorn correspondence above, that promises to take you from Blackpool penguin-side to Berlin Glide by way of a
little smooth flight imagining. This recent zine features a striped spine and was bound all
perfectly square with bone folder, ruler, and acid-free glue by Louise over the weekend.
It will soon be available through our online store, and, of course, you can pick up a copy at the launch of A Year of Southern Hemisphere Birds and A Flight of Twelve Southern Hemisphere Birds this Wednesday the 23rd. The launch promises to be a fun and intimate affair in the library, replete with Jam Drops and Lemon Hearts.
See you there, fans of the Kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) and friends of the Shaft-tailed Whydah (Vidua regia), see you there.
(Thursday 24th tiny edit: A Postcard as Measuring Device is now available through our online store.)
