Synopsis
Make your ABCs more FUN with Hand Lettering A to Z.
Along with the popularity of journaling, paper crafting, book crafting, and making personalized gifts and cards, comes a renewed appreciation for hand lettering.
Hand Lettering A to Z is a fun, hands-on, write-in book, in which artist and calligrapher Abbey Sy presents her creative lettering and invites artists from several countries to contribute alphabets of their own designs: all unique, all hand drawn, many ready to be colored with pen or watercolor.
Each alphabet will be paired with a collection of phrases: (Let it Snow, Let's Dance, It's Only Rock and Roll, Just Do It ) to show readers different ways to use the lettering and to have fun with an international variety of ways to turn the phrase. The artists will make their selections from a list of fifteen languages (Danish, Dutch, English, Finish, French, German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish). Readers can use the phrases when making cards, gifts, Valentines, or embellishing their journals. Using the phrases in other languages adds to the fun of creating something special.
The book is printed on artists' quality paper, with plenty of space opposite each collection of letters and phrases for the reader to draw, copy, and practice.
