Journal

Notes from the desk

• Studio note

  How a letter is written

  Nib, pressure, and the twelve minutes of stillness before the first word goes down on paper.

• Materials

  Drying flowers that keep their colour

  Silica, patience, and why the flowers you press in a book always turn brown.

• Process

  Framing a rakhi so it lasts a lifetime

  Acid-free mounts, UV glass, and the small choices that stop a memory from fading.

These are sample entries — replace the words with your own writing whenever you're ready.
