Author: Abbey Sy
Format: Trade Paperback , 128 Pages

Publisher: Rockport Publishers
$22.99 US / $29.99 CAN
Hand Lettering A to Z is a fun, hands-on book in which artist and calligrapher Abbey Sy presents her creative lettering and invites artists from several countries to contribute alphabets of their own--all unique, all hand drawn. Each alphabet is paired with a collection of phrases to show readers different ways to use the lettering and have fun with it in different languages, including French, Spanish, Irish, Swedish, Portuguese, and more. Readers can use the phrases when making cards, gifts, or embellishing their journals. And unlike calligraphy, hand lettering does not require disciplined study. Hand-drawn lettering is meant to be personal and original, so even beginners can dive in! {This book is all for me! I've always had an obsession with handwriting and penmanship but have not been able to master the art of hand lettering - hopefully this book is the key!}
