| Hand Lettering, by Marci Donley and DeAnn Singh This book has lots of different alphabets, tutorials on how to form the letters, and examples used in cards and scrapbook pages. There are pages devoted to tools and materials, including a guide to the bewildering array of markers and pens available today.  It is definitely going to be helpful to me in my art quilts, journals, and mixed media projects. I have not really studied lettering since a required drafting elective in seventh and eighth grade. This looks like much more fun! I especially like the pages on decorating techniques, such as decoupage, rubber stamping and embossing, character marks, squiggles and scribbles. Oh, yes, and a full page on correcting mistakes! |
I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!

Hand Lettering book
Last week I had some time between eye and hair appointments in Raleigh, and spent a couple hours shopping. I got this book, Hand Lettering, at Joann's with my 40% off coupon. The retail price is $17.95.
