Alex will love both of these - because she enjoys experimenting with ways to write her name. I need to provide some better paper for her. As I write this, I am a few days away from driving in to Chicago (rather than flying) so I can take some paper.
And here is a book I should get for her - thank you to KristineK for alerting me to it.
"This book is for anyone who's felt the pressure of perfection. As a schoolgirl in Vietnam and later in lettering classes, Huyen Dinh was always told to perfect her penmanship. Instead, she started embracing her own imperfect style-with squiggly lines, cheeky messages, and candy colors. In this upbeat guidebook, Dinh walks you through the basic rules of lettering so she can teach you how to break them in clever and creative ways. She shares challenges and triumphs from her own artistic journey and offers inspiration as well as technical tips. Use your new lettering skills to tell your personal story, support a cause you care about, or decorate your tote bags and sneakers! Fully illustrated in Dinh's signature pastel palette, this book is the perfect companion for any aspiring creative"-- Provided by publisher.
I did do the one at the top, and I totally need that book. It's going on my Amazon wish list!
ReplyDeleteSweet girl with flowers. Fun way to decorate
ReplyDeleteI like the highlighted letters with the leaf flourishes .
Thanks for the book recommendation. My library happened to have. I've been looking for letter written books, but have been searching under fonts. So I totally missed this gem.
