ru,
swisslet, Steve Martin is a comic genius. Here’s a ‘personalised’ letter he used to send out to fans. That flip at the end is perfection.
MetGitarenEnZo, @swisslet His business card is hilarious as well. #SteveMartin #comedy #BusinessCard
Lizette603_23, @swisslet I used to run into him all the time. Saw him with fans in person. Not so much like this.
JamesAkers, Saturday I bent all the letters in all the colors for this collaboration with Alicia Eggert. A little bigger than I remember them, but that is nice.
That turquoise wants to stain so much. I got it way hot and bombarded it about 6 times which seemed to help reduces the size of the stains. I think they didn't bake out the binder from the coating? None of the other colors had the staining.
Oh these colors do go quite well together :)
#neon #letters #sculpture #installation #collaboration
the letters, seen off here on the age in table. Its important that they are all white when they are off- so the installation is as boring and colorless as possible and people dont know what is what color
some staining seen in the turquoise "U". The mercury trap is still on, mercury still inside. I even pumped it upside down in hopes that gravity would pull the loosened up stains to the back of the letter. So strange, I have never really seen this in new glass.
masukomi, @JamesAkers I have been really enjoying your posts about this work. Do you know of a good YouTube video that actually goes into the details of how these things are made?
I have no idea what it means to bombard them or what it is, that is staining, but I am very curious to learn more .
batichi, Anyone have good website recommendations for making custom #stationery sets for #letters?
I kinda want to try making some envelopes and notepad paper
_ohcoco_, (edited ) #BenedictCumberbatch reads one of #AlexeiNavalny's final #letters >>>
"If your convictions are worth anything, you should be ready to stand up for them and, if necessary, make some sacrifices. And if you're not ready, then you have no convictions at all - you just think you do....By returning, I fulfilled my promise to my voters. After all, there must eventually be those in Russia who do not lie to them."

"Power. Should. Change. Hands.
The best way to choose a government is through honest and free elections.
Everyone needs a fair judiciary.
Corruption destroys the State.
There should be no censorship.These principles are the future.
And now, sectarians and marginals are in power. Generally, they have no ideas. Their only goal is to cling to their seats. Perfected hypocrisy allows them to adopt and adapt any disguise."

algernon, From a letter in progress. (Whole transcription is in the alt text.)
“Let us have nice things: Heavy coffee mugs, spoons with pleasing handles, furnishings that invite us into a room, lovely paper and pens that give pleasure to writer and reader alike…”

ParisWriters, #Harvard receives another devastating letter from Bill Ackman, detailing the reasons why the university should fire President, Claudine Gay
(‘ In her short tenure as President, Claudine Gay has done more damage to the reputation of Harvard University than any individual in our nearly 500-year history’)
It is a very good letter.

rticks, Aside from linking to a nazi platform who the fuck cares what a nillionare thinks?
valhalla, startrek_it TIL: using an hot air station (the soldering kind) to heat #sealingWax works just fine, is not messy, doesn't require a table mostly free of burnable material, and can also help fixing mishaps like not having left enough wax on the paper by reheating it.
using an open flame is still much better for the whole ritual of sealing #letters, however.
but it's nice knowing that I have the two options.
valhalla, startrek_it TIL: usare una stazione ad aria calda (quelle per saldare elettronica) per scaldare la #ceralacca funziona, non fa casini in giro, non richiede un tavolo libero da materiale infiammabile e aiuta anche nel caso in cui non si sia messa abbastanza ceralacca sulla carta, dato che permette di riscaldarla.
usare una fiamma però funziona molto meglio per l'esperienza del rituale di chiusura delle #lettere, però.
ma è bello sapere di avere entrambe le opzioni.
caity, Evening, Toots. Long day for us today - the car saga continues, still no repair, arrgh. Partner managed a big grocery shop after a Drs appointment via taxis and walking. I’ve been working on #FamilyHistory, the #PhotoBook for Dad (I’m up to his last year at HIgh School!) and decided last night that my #WritingProject needed a better system so I finally indulged and bought #Scrivener for the IPad. Plus I have #letters to write… And to think, my #MentalHealth Nurse worried I might be bored! 🤣
anathema_device, @caity Argh on the car front. But you sound like you’re being very productive!
maous, French Un petite idée typographique ébauchée cet été. Sans nom pour l'instant, cette fonte de titrage se distingue par ses liaisons qui se croisent aux entournures ! Toutes les lettres n’ont pas encore été trouvées, mais je tenais à partager ce petit projet déjà utilisé pour la promo du stage typo chez Barbedor ! Enjoy 🎉 #typedesign #letters #typography
NickEast, There's no arguing with this! I'm going to need a black quartz sphinx to jude my vow 😂

Sometimes it's the simplest of things that catch my eye. Here it's the exterior of a colourful wooden building in Nevada, and the prominent 'Z' in the woodwork that stood out.

pivic, I've reviewed Joyce Carol Oates's - 'Letters to a Biographer': https://niklas.reviews/2024/02/24/joyce-carol-oates-letters/
This book collects letters from Joyce Carol Oates, one of the more popular American authors of the twentieth century, to Greg Johnson, biographer. In the introduction, Oates says she could not have ‘imagined that Greg would be my primary correspondent through most of my adult life.’ He first wrote to her in 1975 and they’ve still not stopped exchanging letters, although the introduction of email has shortened the contents of their letters, according to Johnson; this book contains a selection of letters from 1979 to 2005.
