I saw this amazing singer’s rendition of Good Riddance from Hades on TikTok.
As he was singing Orpheus, it felt right to join as Eurydice. 🎶❤️

A warning from the past: if there is anything you would like to preserve long-term in good condition, please don't stick tape on it!
As tape deteriorates, it can discolour, become brittle, lose its adhesive strength, and leave a residue stain.
Enough to give an archivist nightmares! 👻

There's something to surveying modern and contemporary art when determining media and you notice a piece of string and it makes you pause and ponder "is that supposed to be there? Did the artist intend for that to be part of the art?" 😅

This entrance to a Paper Museum in the Republic of North Macedonia is basically so perfect that I wonder if it’s just a lure for people like me? It’s the most enticing signage and museum façade I’ve ever seen. Sadly I’m not there, but a friend sent me this on his travels

Just thinking what 24-34% tariffs on washi, hanji, zin shofu paste, and hake brushes will mean for paper conservators and how materials that need conservation treatment from 2025-2029 will suffer from a dearth of materials.

I’ve been writing condition reports today ~ yawn ~ I have 130 odd to write, but this Gwen John watercolour cat study has a nice surprise (apart from the delightful technique, not very well captured in my phone snap): a paw-print just around the line of the cat’s back! (NMW A 15597, undated)
