I've been interested in hand lettering for a while. I usually write personalized messages in greeting cards so I thought the next step would be for me to design the entire card!
I thought the author Bethany had a very interesting take on teaching that I have never seen in book form. She knows her stuff. Bethany writes the letters, draws pictures and then prompts the reader to follow suite after each example. At first it felt a little grade school, but she gets down to basics. This is 101, people.
I bought this book on Kindle, but I really wish I purchased a physical copy, especially for practice. I would have liked to use this as a workbook instead of a reference guide. A couple of my favorite things covered are fake calligraphy and dimensions.
Remember when I said this felt like grade school? Well forget that, because you enter the advanced classes once Bethany covers positive and negative space. I think that section is my favorite.
There's so much to cover in this book! You can practice letters, do arts and crafts and even make gifts like a paper bouquet. I'm even going to start practicIng making logos for my future business. This book has given me a great creative outlet.

cute book for teenagers, young adults and people who likes flowers
A cute book for teenagers, young adults and people who likes flowers. I rate it 3.5 stars.GOOD:-The book is very interactive. It is something I would want to draw on and color later (since there are no colors in this book at all except black and white).-I like how creative the book is. I think it is worth mentioning that the book is handwritten. Kudos for the author!-The lettering are sexy and beautiful at the same time. These fonts are so good. Designs varies on frame, weight and dimension.NOT SO GOOD:-Everything is black and white, I would much appreciate a botanical book in colored version since you are buying the paperback anyway and it is not CHEAP!-Other scripts are too intricate. Good thing there are instructions to follow for total beginners like me. Although a little subtle in my opinion.-I wish there were more practice pages on the book.Overall, it is a good buy.
