• Inspiring examples of the art of calligraphy

More than a dozen projects-complete with stroke-by-stroke instruction-show you different ways to apply your new skills. You'll find practical and imaginative ideas for greeting cards, invitations, romantic verse and much more. And with Don's help, you can get started right away.
