P is for Parasol in this prim and proper typewriter key pendant.
Clack! Strike! Whir! The antique brass and iron typewriter clatters as fingers scatter across the keys, pressing hard against each character to lift the bar that will emboss the page with a soft, inky letter. Long before keyboards were plugged into the towers of technology, writing was done on the mechanical keys of typewriters which streamed ink ribbons across a sheet of paper as one wrote. Jack Kerouac wrote on such a typewriter, just as the secretaries of Mad Men transcribe notes on a similar device. Recycled from such a typewriter, one can imagine that this key, this particular letter, might have belonged to Virginia Woolf, or James Joyce, or any other twentieth century writer you can dream up. Imagine the fingertip that caressed this particular key. What must she have written? What might he have had to say? Perhaps P is for "Parody" or the "Personification" of a typewriter. Whatever the case of this letter, upper or lower, it will bring the writer in your life just what it means to have the Pop of inspiration.
