B3327. Alphabet From A To Y / Martin & Chast
The Alphabet from A to Y With Bonus Letter Z! by Steve Martin and Roz Chast. 2007. 64pp. 10.25"x8.5". Hardcover $17.95

Steve Martin has supplied the rhyming and alliterative couplets. Roz Chast, whose cartoons frequently appear in The New Yorker, has provided the illustrative facing page. Will your child or grandchild understand everything in this book? No, but that does not mean they won't enjoy hearing it, again and again and again. And you may still enjoy reading it to them the tenth time. Your youngster may have plenty of questions - which is a good thing. "In varsity Victor was often victorious - sadly, his winning made him vainglorious." "Excellent Edward, exceedingly picky, ate eggs with an eel whose earwax was icky."

B2769. Foundations of Calligraphy

By Sheila Waters. 2006. 126pp. 9"x11.25". Concealed spiral binding. Now in its second printing. Hardcover.

In the 110 pages of exemplar alphabets, instruction, and hints, Sheila shares with you the knowledge she has gathered over her decades of study and practice. She provides insightful analysis of forms and constructions and helps you learn and work toward mastery of the alphabets. The presentation is honed by her vast experience teaching calligraphers how to advance their skills and art. Sheila Waters is not only a master scribe, but a master teacher. She has made both her life's work.

Chapters include Basics & Beyond, Analysis & Practice, Design & Layout, Conception to Completion, and Applying Design Principles. Foundational, Blackletter, Gothic Cursives, Uncial & Half Uncial, Carolingian, Italic, and Italic Variations are covered with thorough instruction for each. Foundational and Italic receive particular attention.**

A great instructional workbook for pointed pen flourishing. You learn the basics of flourishing and how to apply those techniques to ornament your work. Linda's flourish style is unique. Instead of feathers and birds, she uses the flourish strokes to create delightful flowers, ladies, dogs and even the Eiffel Tower.
