Creative Lettering Book!


Well, one thing has been accomplished on my Art Bucket list. I have been published in a book! And this book is very special to me because it is by Jenny Doh, the former editor of Somerset Studio Magazine.
Here are a few of my pages. It is available on Amazon and I think it is just about to be released for shipment.  My sweet friend Lori is in the book too!




My specialty lettering in the book is called "Chunky Versals."  They are really fun to do and a really great element to add to journal pages. I may even do a little workshop showing you in much more detail as to how to do them.  
The book is really nice. Jenny did a great job!

Martha,
I can't wait to get my book from Amazon. Congratulations and yes, would you please teach a workshop on chunky versals. I would love to take it.

Hi Martha,

This looks like a wonderful book to add to my library for lettering. Congratulations on being published. I hope you are seriously considering the "Chunky Versals" on-line class. I haven't been too successful with them on my own, and maybe your class would help me. I just hope I'm able to take at the time you offer it. Linda E.

I received the book yesterday and I was so disappointed that your whole alphabet wasn't included as some were. Do you offer it anywhere? I thought that is what the book was so I felt a little cheated. :(

Each of them look stunning in their own way, the top one is more complex in nature, love the

way your technique is being absorbed around in a great way!
