DIY type

Brighten your desk, personalize your parties, monogram your wardrobe and decorate your home; all with famous chalkboard artist- Dana Tanamachi's creative flare! Get acquainted with her through a little bit of her background story. Then browse a few pages of her designs and ideas, including a supplies list! And then test your creative hand by using some of her very own stencils. With letter stencils in large and small sizes, you are bound to find a project worthy of lettering! While I appreciate Tanamachis work in general, I wasn't very impressed with this book. Her chalkboard art is fun, elegant and whimsical. This book however doesn't display much of that. There are a few pages of some basic lettering ideas, and then the rest of the book is literally two sets of stencils. Which I believe I will use, as I always find use for anything crafty. But the lettering is nothing fancy, I'd call it basic. I think if you buy this book looking for something really fun and creative, you may not find it here, but if you are only needing a pack of stencils, then this book may be what you want. The book however is, before the stencils, very cute a creatively done. i received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
