DESCRIPTION:
Love Hate Relationship with this book. Ok let me start by saying this review is based on flip through first impressions:1. CON - It's so friggin hard to readlike it's hurting my eyes to try to digest what is written on the pages because every single text in the book in in either a handwritten CAPITAL LETTER FONT, or in script!! And the lines spacing is very close together making it a strain to read. Like whattt?! I had to put the book down s. "Neat, I like it." according to Erin D.. This is such a great purchase. I have been noticing all the cool hand lettering stuff on Pinterest and Instagram for a while now, and I've been wanting to give it a try myself but I haven't known where to begin. I was looking for a basic intro and this popped up. I've tried a few others but they seem too complicated and I never actually got around to it. What I love about this book is that it's so user . Amazing book! You won't regret it. Love everything Peggy does, and have been wanting this book for a long time. I am so happy with it, and have only scratched the surface! So much information and great inspiration. Here's an example of my faux botanical calligraphy (used for a Harry Potter challenge I'm doing) first go at it, after using Peggy's book
