Description
Top selling author and hand lettering expert Amy Latta is back with her third book, aimed at spreading happy vibes and providing more than a few giggles. With witty quotes-such as "My idea of clean eating is having pizza while taking a bubble bath"-Amy gives readers a new lease on lettering, featuring brand new techniques, fonts and embellishments. After the incredible success of her first book, Hand Lettering for Relaxation, Amy is answering the demand of her audience for new flourishes and more of her popular humorous quotes she posts on her social media accounts. Readers can expect the same features that made Amy's first book so special: her down to earth voice and clear instructions; high-quality, thick art paper ideal for brush pens and lettering tools; and blank border pages for final designs. This time, Amy adds a bonus project section giving readers simple DIY crafts for things like lettered pillows and wood signs to spread their lettering joy with others in unique ways. This fresh, fun book with hilarious quotes will have readers hooked and thoroughly entertained.
