Hand Lettering: Creative Styles for Cards, Scrapbooks & More
By Marci Donley and De Ann Singh
Marci Donley, author of Simple Stroke Calligraphy, and Greeting Cards Galore, has created another exciting lettering book that will help you construct creative letters to enhance your cards, scrapbooks and art projects. For this book she has called upon artist and educator, DeAnn Singh to be her co-author. Together they create letters that are inspired by type, calligraphy and illustration to bring you styles that work with many different subjects and types of artwork. Whether for rubberstamping cards and books or scrappin’ pictures and albums or creating artists books and trading cards, these easy to execute letters will inspire you to embellish all your lettering ideas. There is a section to teach you to make your own styles and modifications.
Marci and DeAnn called upon other professional lettering artists to bring you more than a dozen styles with easy to follow instructions and diagrams. You are treated to the work of Jane Shibata, Susy Ratto, Carol Pallesen, Karin Gable, Sylvia Kowal, Carrie Imai & Melissa Dinwiddie. The book starts with the basic Roman hand, goes into Italic monoline, Whimsy, Draftsman, Bungalow style, Brush writing, Clothesline and much more…….with samples and suggestions to go along with each style.
This book will be a “must have” in your library for creative lettering.
