Follow along in your book as I walk you through the full alphabet! This course will give you a view into how I create each letter. You'll receive a corse invite after your book purchase, and you can watch the material as much as you want.
These are the items I think you should have when you get started...a good set of artist pens and a pad of tracing paper! Here's what we include with this bundle.
For Faux Calligraphy you can use any type of pen or pencil or even a brush pen. You can use any marker, it just needs to have a tip that can do narrow lines as well as broad lines.
If you've followed my Instagram feed you've seen me use several different brand markers and pens in the past. Of the different pens I've used, my go to has to be the Faber-Castell Pitt pen. I like these so much, the colors are fun (there are so many to pick from), and these can be used for both faux calligraphy and in for brush pen calligraphy when you're ready.
I have used so many different brands of tracing paper, some cheap stuff and even really expensive vellum...and I'd take this paper over ANY of them.
I searched and searched for the perfect paper for lettering and finally found what I like, so I've created my own pad with what I believe is the best out there. Put it side-by-side with any other brand, this stuff lays flatter and is easier to trace on. I just love it!
There are 14 beautiful coloring pages that you can color in using colored pencils, watercolors, crayons, gelly roll markers, you name it!
The backs of the coloring pages are blank so you can pull them out to frame if you’d like to – each one has faint dotted lines around 3 sides to make it easy to cut it down to 8×10 size and frame. If you’re not going to remove it, that blank backside is a great place for more journaling or lettering practice.
The 14 reflective journaling pages include my insights about the quotes shared as well as a prompt for you to journal your own thoughts and feelings. I find that when I’m being creative, I have some of my best thoughts and it’s wonderful to record them right there.
Thank you cards, Wreath outlines for framing your own creations, just a few of the added pages for making your own creations!
"Love this book. Tracing the letters has let me feel the motion of writing it out and being creative. Book is nicely laid out, plenty of room to practice. I have wanted to do this for a long time. This is the best way I have tried."

"This is such a wonderful activity. Helps me better use time and to get into more of a present state of mind. Arrived quickly and is great quality. Thanks so much, Lisa!"

I love having something in person to practice on rather than the other digital/iPad tools I have seen offered by others. This is a really great beginners guide. My only request would be for a page (or maybe multiple pages with different sizes?) of guide lines so that I could practice writing without tracing :)
It has been great to refresh my cursive writing with added creativity. I practice every day and feel more confident to use creative lettering more often.
Alot of fun! Great instructions and videos!
I haven’t used it.
My hubby said it looks like your learning cursive all over again! I said it feels like it @ 55 years old, and it’s relaxing!
