## Description

Say it with chalk! Learn the art of hand-drawn chalk lettering from an Etsy superstar in a book complete with chalkboards! 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, teaches us everything we need to know to create gorgeous hand-drawn chalk designs. In over 60 lessons, learn the ABCs of lettering (literally) and basic styles: serif, sans serif, and script. Next, how to lay out a design, combine various styles into one cohesive piece, and add shadows and dimension. Master more advanced letter styles, from faceted to ribbon to “vintage circus.” Use banners, borders, flourishes. And finally, 12 projects to show off your newfound skills, including a Winter Wonderland Snow Globe; a smartphone-themed birthday card to text friends and family; a one-of-a-kind party invitation to create, photograph, and mail; and a bake sale sign guaranteed to put everyone who sees it in the mood for a cupcake! The book is also a practice space, with three foldout “chalkboards”—the inside cover and foldout back cover are lined with blackboard paper.

Review: Love this book! - I bought the Kindle version of this book and have been reading it on the computer. It is the lettering book I have been looking for. She teaches in a way that works for people like me who do not have a background in lettering. She teaches many techniques that are very do-able and I really like the results I have seen so far. She ends the book with some neat tutorials for projects that look amazing -- I can't wait to try them. My 6th grader has shown an interest in lettering, and I am looking forward to sharing these lessons with her. We don't use a chalk board, we letter using pencil and paper. Every once in a while, we will leave a chalk message in our driveway, which has been a lot of fun. Thank you, Valerie, for writing this book!!
Review: Excellent primer and inspiration source - Fun book! Very easy to follow and encouraging in style. I love chalk signs and wanted to learn how to make my own. Let me say, my handwriting is STINKY and if I just handwrote a sign, it would look terrible (I've tried and failed!). I also have no drawing experience. I bought the book because the author swears you don't need to have good handwriting to hand letter a sign and she is very encouraging. She is right! We were having a big party for my hubby's 50th and I wanted to make a sign to greet guests in the hallway. I didn't have time to do all the lessons, but I read thru the book and copied some of the lettering styles and embellishments in the book. My first effort was great and it was too fun - and it only took like half and hour! I had no idea I could draw like this, since my writing is all over the place. Go for it - you never know the talents you have unless you try new things, and this book is an excellent tool to learn to make chalk art!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Lettering Tutorial; Not Just for Chalk Users
*by G***P on October 23, 2017*

This is not only a great chalk lettering book, it is a great Lettering book, period. I have a lot of books on lettering, calligraphy, design, and the like, and this is one of the most useful lettering books I have ever used. The author begins by clearly and succinctly explaining different kinds of type-face, with a super easy description of serifs and flourishes. She uses simple language throughout, and builds on skills in easy steps. I not only learned a lot about working with chalk, I learned a lot about all decorative lettering, from how to write out different fonts to how to lay out a composition. I am truly astonished by how user friendly and useful this book it. Recommend to anyone who want to work on lettering.
