The Messenger / Edition 1

This is the first edition of The Messenger.

The Messenger Ghost is supplied with a merchant stamped piece of parchment which can be rolled ( we roll it around a pencil ) to fit inside a cylindrical cavity on the underside of the Ghost. What is written upon the parchment and who it is destined for is of course up to to you. Perhaps a message of love, a secret to keep, a prediction or pledge. The Ghost becomes the guardian of the message.

Edition one had been tea dyed. The workshop has been productive during lockdown 3 with dying experimentation. Loose leaf tea ( Yorkshire tea of course ) is used and ghosts are bound in newsprint and soaked. The tea produces complex markings unlike any other Ghost so far. Warm watery tones of tan, sepia and cream form in unpredictable patterns. There will be future editions of The Messenger.
