Description

Ubiquitous at boutiques and cafés, on Etsy and Pinterest, in stationery and home decor, the art of chalk lettering is hotter than ever. Valerie McKeehan, an Etsy standout whose work has been featured in magazines and internet sites from Good Housekeeping to RealSimple.com, teaches us the whole thing we want to know to create gorgeous hand-drawn chalk designs. The book could also be a practice space, with three foldout “chalkboards”—the inside cover and foldout back cover are lined with blackboard paper.

In over 60 lessons, learn the ABCs of lettering (literally) and basic styles: serif, sans serif, and script. Next, how one can lay out a design, combine more than a few styles into one cohesive piece, add shadows and dimension. Master more advanced letter styles, from faceted to ribbon to “vintage circus.” Use banners, borders, flourishes. And in the end, 12 projects to sing their own praises your newfound skills: including a Winter Wonderland Snow Globe; a smartphone-themed birthday card to text family and friends; a one-of-a-kind party invitation to create, photograph, and mail; and a bake sale sign guaranteed to put everyone who sees it within the mood for a cupcake!
