Calligraphy

This is a cute book, but I always thought it was mis-titled. While it does have some very basic calligraphy instruction in it, it's true value lies in the paper projects that are inside.

We started out using this book with just a basic calligraphy-tipped pen I bought at the drug store. Once your child learns how to hold and use the pen, she can take off with the projects in this book.

They're based on art techniques for highlighting the printed word. Such techniques include making your own stamper out of a sponge, making your own large pens out of sponges and cardboard, using wax and paint, making reverse rubbings, and embossing.

This book is softcover, has 32 pages, was printed in 1998 and is in excellent condition. Sorry....this one's sold.
