Because She Felt Like It
Well don't this just beat all. An amazingly talented and tenacious young lady by the name of Blythe from Halifax, Nova Scotia has sewn herself an Underwood typewriter made entirely of felt. Why, you may ask? Why not? You can see more pictures of this astounding creation here. And take the time to view her many other creations, too. I mean, how many people do you know who can create a Pentax camera and adorable robots out of felt?
Big fat thanks to Tim from Baby Got Books for bringing this gem to my attention!
Wow. Now that's cool!

I am in awe. Not only at the creation itself but at the inspiration behind it. (Neither of which is in my repertoire.)

That's awesome. It may not sound like a complement but it looks like a typsewriter dredged up from the ocean floor. So much character.

That is awesome. I'm amazed by how talented some people are, especially when needle and thread are involved.

What are they putting in the water in Halifax? This is AMAZING.
Something tells me the typewriter's hold on our collective psyche won't easily be loosened. Good. I love the lore of these magical machines. Even in felt.
Actually, ESPECIALLY in felt.

Very cool. Reminds me of the typewriters in the paintings by Sam Messer of Paul Auster (only his is an Olympia, I believe) - the same melty quality.

Amazing. I miss the sticatto sound of clinking keys. Typing felt so serious with a typewriter. I wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with smiley face keyboard sequence.
