Although not to my taste, #theinkspots have a home. I treat all of my #vinyl with love, and especially my fragile #shellac.
I love finding new sounds for my collection 🎶

​I hope this brings you joy today 🥰

I began this #engraving #art in late 2024 before my life dramatically changed.

I've lost track of the many hours that have gone into this A3 piece, but it feels great having it finally finished.

It depicts the #HousesofParliament and the #ElizabethTower which houses #BigBen in London, UK.

If you love #cosy #humour #scifi #books (and don't mind the odd profanity),

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by #BeckyChambers

is an absolute must-read! 😤

Do you have a favourite cosy book? If so, let me know in the comments! I'm always looking for recommendations 🥰

I love this one! It took around three hours, but it was worth the grind 🥰

Use a #UVlight such as a UV torch as these require UV to actually work. A torch means you don't have to wait for the sun to shine.

I'm building my own little corner of the internet for my vinyl and shellac collection while audio archiving raw transfers if anyone in the community wants to connect 🫶

Is anyone here collecting pre-1950s vinyl or 78 RPM shellac? 🎶

I have yet to see anyone share anything older than the '70s, and being a collector myself, I would love to see what you have!

So please drop a comment of your favourite pre-50s record 🫶

My favourite by Fugazi is Waiting Room. I used to listen to it while in thr GP waiting room 😂

Thank you for the welcome and giving me that information. It is now pinned 😊

These pictures are of my own cats in the spirit of Halloween 🥰

I came here looking for record enthusiasts as explained in my Substack post.
