No wonder Europe stayed illiterate for so long. It's so time consuming to just make a piece of parchment.

I think it's wonderful that in such a fast, busy world, there are still people taking the time to do things the old-fashioned way and keeping the art and tradition alive.

I really want a roll of parchment now. Just so I can bash out some wicked sketches.
