What a fine combination – hard to find basics like fixing mistakes, using a light box and using a rolling ruler plus, the rarely seen “Color Layering System” with Susy Ratto using brush markers AND tons of wonderful stuff from 17 contributors. There’s a terrific Neuland, lots of monoline lettering with great character, an incredible Druid alphabet by Jane Shibata complete with intertwined fantastic animals, lettering with unusual tools like dental stimulators and make-up sponges and contemporary decorated caps. Clear instruction, fresh ideas, great energy. Contributors include Nancy Campbell, Lisa Engelbrecht, Carol Pallesen, Joan Hawks, Melissa Dinwiddie, Patti Peterson, and Renee Troy.  128 pp., 8.5” x 10”, pb.
