Is there anyone out there looking for a good reference book on lettering on paper or fabric?\u00a0 If so, here\u2019s the book!<\/p>\n

Modern Mark Making From Classic Calligraphy to Hip Hand-Lettering
\nby Lisa Engelbrecht<\/strong> <\/a>(Quarry Books) is a winner.\u00a0 It\u2019s subtitled \u201can all-in-one workbook for artists, crafters, and journalers.\u201d\u00a0 And that it is.\u00a0 The book is hardcovered but has a wire spine making it easy to keep open while working.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 160 full color pages with lavish illustrations.\u00a0 It starts with tool, surfaces, materials, and the basics of getting started.\u00a0\u00a0 She explains tools for script writing, and pens, her favorites, and so on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the beauty of the book is in the large variety of lettering and the gorgeous examples of them used in everything from invitations to fabric art.\u00a0\u00a0 I love how she covers the classical but moves into the modern and urban, graffiti-looking lettering.\u00a0 For making the more funky types of lettering, she explains how all types of pens\u00a0 can be used, including those you make yourself.\u00a0 For example, there is a page on making a \u201cStimudent Pen.\u201d\u00a0 What kind of pen is that, you wonder?\u00a0 It\u2019s made from Stim-U-Dent plaque removers!\u00a0 She explains how even a yogurt container can be made into a pen.<\/p>\n

Last year I had an opportunity to listen to Lisa as she taught in a brief introduction to calligraphy on fabric.\u00a0 While the session was only about 15 minutes, she jammed it with information.\u00a0 I was impressed.\u00a0 In short, if you have\u00a0 any interest at all in learning a variety of options for lettering on paper or fabric, I highly recommend this book!<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in purchasing the book from Amazon, click on the book cover above. However, Lisa is also selling the book directly, which she’ll autograph for you.\u00a0 Visit Lisa’s blog<\/a> for more information, and tell her I sent you!\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
