Details

One of a series aimed at readers 9+ who are beginning to take an interest in hobbies. The books are intended to show readers what they can do with simple equipment which they may already have to hand. This book starts with the assumption that you don't need special pens to make beautiful lettering, and that with a bit of practice and imagination you can make patterns and beautiful writing with any felt tip or crayon. Once the basic skills are mastered the reader can design cards, books, posters, announcements and monograms as well as making mobiles and using words to make pictures. A section at the end of the book looks at different types of paper and pens - including calligraphy pens and how to make them.
