Eight new two-color borders, short discussion of basic alphabet styles and their pen variations, lessons in designing with calligraphy, initials and borders that harmonize or contrast with basic historical alphabet styles, how to apply color and gold leaf. For all skill levels.
I adore Margaret Shepherd. Her books are funny, whimsical, and technically proficient. If you want to learn how to do calligraphy, she's one of the best ones out there.
Her book on decorating a page is a lot of fun. She gets into design and how to think about the visual impact of the art that you're creating.
