Hola all!
It is Friday again…how did that happen so quickly?
I have been a bit behind on getting posts up this week, but I have a good excuse.
Today I am super excited to share with you that I am in a book! Yep!
Do you remember when I posted about the book, Creative Lettering?
It was so popular that crafters wanted MORE and it is finally here… the fabulous follow-up to that bestselling book, featuring 15 entirely new contributors and one of them is me. :-)
Last year the author, Jenny Doh, emailed me and asked if I would like to be a featured artist in the book.
She especially wanted me to show how I do lettering on chalkboards.
I created everything she needed around the holidays and the book came out this month.
There are 15 artists featured. All provide tips on their favorite forms of hand lettering and tools, along with complete alphabets and how-to projects based on their signature styles.
With everything from posters and cards to signs, collages, and journals, this eye-catching collection will inspire readers as they create their own, personalized work.
So many styles, tips, and techniques to inspire you to create your own distinctive and creative lettering.
My favorite style tip is how to add white accents to lettering on brown kraft paper packages.
Love the tutorial on creating faux calligraphy…
… and how to create art with lettering.

I love script that looks half script and half print.. I love your web site emails letters I receive from you. I have a special file I put them in under labels on my computer. I plan to build a house next year and will be using so many of your creative ideas.. (Ex.. Chalk painting your dining chairs!).. Maybe I will use handwriting on the painted fabric seats!
Keep the ideas flowing, Diane.. and many thanks from Texas!… Fran
I prefer script! It just seems so have so much more flair and elegance:)
Hi, Diane! That is totally awesome to be a featured artist in someone else’s book. Personally, I love the chalkboard look, and depending on what it is, determines whether I want print or script. But, I love the way script looks. Or kind of a script, where it’s almost printing but the tails connect to give the impression of script….much like calligraphy, I suppose.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this book!
I love the written word whether print or script but if pushed to the limit I would say I like script just a teeny bit more. It sort of depends on what the words say or what they mean though. I am torn.
thanks

I like script best I guess because I am drawn to it more but I also like a lot of print.
