Carved Calligraphy + Decorative Painting
= A Winning Combination!

Master calligrapher Ken Brown has taken his Brush Lettering technique a step further - he's carved examples of his calligrpahy on wooden plaques with beautiful results.

In this book Ken shows you two carving techniques, one for creating recessed leters, another for creating recessed backgrounds. You'll see how to accomplish both, step by step, plus information on the tools you need, patterns for carving the five projects in this book, and how to combine words and letters for making your own patterns!

On four projects, Priscilla Hauser shows you how carved calligraphy can be enhanced with decorative painting. She's created lovely, simple-to-paint designs that frame and enhcance the carvings. There are patterns and instructions for each, plus a painting worksheet for each project that illustrates Priscilla's techniques!
