Calligraphy --- This One's a Winner!
2 May 2002
Format:Paperback
Tom Gourdie's Calligraphy for the Beginner will make you a Calligraphic Winner! You heard it here. I bought this book with hopes of learning how to create some simple calligraphic techniques to write love letters to my girlfriend. After a couple weeks of practicing I felt I was a master. Gourdie lists easy excercises that you can do to teach yourself the basics, then he gives you more ways to improve. If you already know quite a bit about calligraphy, you might want to skip ahead and get a more advanced book, but if you've never tried it before and are interested in learning and making yourself a calligraphy wiz, then this book is for you. I was having so much fun writing the letters that I didn't even care when my girlfriend broke up with me! Seriously, I'm still using the book to perfect my technique and wouldn't trade it for anything!
