More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
If you think creating beautiful and graceful calligraphy requires years of training and a closet full of fancy pens and exotic inks, think again! Here, the authors explain how anyone can use simple tools and materials found in ordinary craft stores, as well as cotton buds, sponges and other common items, to produce outstanding results. They provide examples of a full dozen alphabet styles, including Roman, Whimsy, Ribbon Writing, Druid, Bungalow, as well as many decorative details. Colour photography reveals more than merely the necessary brush and pen techniques - it also shows a vast range of ideas for using calligraphy in new and surprising ways.

Format:Paperback
I ordered this book hoping it would contain lettering styles I could learn to use in my art journals, and it fits the bill perfectly. A wide variety of alphabets and styles, none of which require that you have a degree in calligraphy, and readily accessible to the amateur like myself. It would also be ideal for the scrapbookers for whom it was intended, but has a far wider potential application. Recommended.

I saw this book in a shop at double the price! The book itself gives clear instructions, nice pictures and examples. But best of all lots of alphabet guides for you to use,to copy, trace or adapt. If you are into any kind of craft, I think you would like this great book.

This is a little gem of a book. If you need some help with lettering for a special occasion then this is the book for you.
It is very easy to follow the instructions and is very colourful.

Waste of money
