Hand-Lettering & Calligraphy Practice Hand Lettering for Self-Care: Calligraphy Projects to Inspire Creativity, Practice Mindfulness, and Promote Self-Love, (Paperback)

I was an avid calligrapher -- before I had kids. Now that my children are older, I'm happily returning to my favorite hobby. Yet, the art supplies available now are so different than the old-school tools I learned within my college years. I wondered what new possibilities were now available, yet I also wanted to, you know, actually enjoy my hobby, and not be burdened with mandates and "Thou shalt's." This is the perfect book for me. The book itself is so pretty, gorgeous really, with multiple colorful photos on every page, which help to feature new techniques now available with all the new tools we have available. Engaging and super helpful writing helps me to have fun and not stress out. Plus it offers guides to contemporary typefaces that extend well beyond the fonts I was initially trained to do. With this book as my guide, I'm back in the swing of things and recently designed a logo for my daughter's new patisserie, using the colorful ombre lettering technique shown in the book!
