found ampersand. number 2.

When I posted my first found ampersand on the blog on 17th June, I didn't really expect to find any more. However,  I found another this morning!

It's a little indistinct, but nevertheless rather extravagant and curvy.

 

Now I'll tell you where I found it.

I have a mane of curly hair, and the ampersand formed itself from one of the hairs that escaped from my head into the bath this morning as I stood under the shower.

I apologise for taking you into the bathroom, but I have a feeling found ampersands don't come along very often, so I must record them when they appear!

found ampersand number 1

Opening the car door in the car park this morning I saw a rather lovely ampersand on the ground.

I have decided to make it number one number one in a new series of found ampersands. I fear it may be a while before I find another.

ampersand obsession. update.

My ampersand obsession has flowered with the help of my friend Rachel.

We are collecting images to make a zine.

An andzine, of course.

It's a huge subject.

We could be at it forever. With an ampersand, you never have to stop

Haiku, ampersand obsession

I am absolutely devoted to the ampersand, and can't stop printing, drawing and thinking about them.
I am also amassing an impressive collection of letterpress ampersands, a small selection of which are pictured here. My camera lens isn't large enough to photograph them all in one place.
