Greetings Dowel fans!

This month we bring you our newsletter fresh from a visit to Ikea. Nothing gets the creative juices going like a visit to Ikea. This visit I was leaving Dowels in the lightbulbs section. In this months newsletter - DAG updates, Keyrings, What happened to our tea towels - and thats weird. Read on! Praise the Dowel.

THE DOWEL ART GRANT (AKA THE DAG) CONTEST

Last month we announced our inaugural Dowel Art Grant (aka the DAG) with the aim of using art to expand the worlds appreciation and understanding of the Dowel. If you have any ideas for a Dowel based art project - send them in and you may be awarded a Dowel Art Grant and see your art come to life.

Below are some of the ideas we have recieved so far.

1) A bedazzled Dowel. “Make it look stunning - with lots of tiny diamonds!”.
2) A Dowel in an epoxy sphere - "like the mosquito in Jurrasic Park".
3) A VR Dowel "A 600m tall virtual Dowel that we can all visit in VR and worship together."
4) A Dowel Toilet Cosy. "It keeps your toilet paper hidden from view - think about it a stack of rolls is already Dowel shaped - we could keep them in a snug Dowel!"
5) "The Trafalgar Square 5th Plinth should have a Dowel on it... a big one."

If you think you can equal or better those ideas - write in! We accept all forms of "art"

Dowel Keyrings - They Only Get Better with Age.

Pictured above is my own Dowel keyring, its developed a nice smooth texture and a sheen the type of which is acquired only through exposure to blood, sweat and tears over many months and years. One of the good things about Dowel keyrings is that they only get better with age and each Dowel keyring develops its own unique character – further more they are guaranteed for life. If you damage, break or lose yours – we will replace it! Interestingly in this instance the non descript metal eyelet seems to have turned in to a valuable silver. If you would like to take part in this alchemy experiment or just have a nice Dowel to keep with your keys – send us an email explaining why you haven't been using a Dowel keyring before now – and we will send you a lovely brand new Dowel keyring in the next post! Free!

Also - if you have a Dowel of your own that you think is ageing well - we would love to see pictures.

After the break!

Still to come - more Dowel news! Including what happened to all those boxes of Dowel Tea Towels!

Intermission:

Say it with me...

You are resilient and sturdy.
You are strong and reliable – always ready to support.
Your strength is unwavering and constant.
You hold things together – always there when needed.
I love Dowels.

Praise the Dowel!

Dowel Tea-Towels

Those of you who have been reading the newsletter for a while - will know that once upon a time we though the next big thing would be Dowel themed tea towels - becasue everyone has a kitchen right? Wrong. We have had to liquedate all our stock - and by liquedate we mean getting someone from the BHF to come and collect them all. So, what this means is that if you were to go in to some BHF stores in the south / south west of england you may come accross (dozens of ) our Dowel Tea Towels... Its all tracked too - so by the end of the year we should get a message telling us how much money we raised for the BFH, if anything...

Thats Weird.

"Anonymous from Hammersmith" wrote in to tell us: A woman keeps walking past my house – like more than 5 times in the space of two hours… and the thing is I think its actually multiple women (2 or 3) playing the same part – like actresses or something, all the actresses look and dress similar – but I think one of them is 10 years older than the others but still. I’m not sure what they are up to. They are always walking in the same direction - you never see them walking back from where they went - are they walking laps? Is it because I work from home? The women are all slim, about 160 to 170cm tall, with long blonde hair and usually wearing a black leather jacket and torn jeans.. sometimes wearing glasses, sometimes not.

If you have seen or overheard anything weird recently - on know what these women could be up to - please write in and tell us. PLEASE.

Why do we do this?

Because Dowel. Thats why. Praise the Dowel!

NEXT MONTH

Well, wasnt that an amazing newsletter? Next month we will be doing it all again - we will be asking “What would a Dowel Haircut look like?” and as usual will bring you all the latest Dowel news.

So, until then Do well and praise the Dowel - P.

It's the newsletter of the Dowel
