Book excerpt: Reconnect with your handwriting and discover the calming, creative joy of calligraphy. Inkspired contains both guidelines and practice pages, and its calligraphy-friendly paper and unique lie-flat binding mean you can write straight into the book with ease. Once you have had a go at Betty's 'AlphaBetty' of calligraphic letters, you are encouraged to develop your own individual style through a selection of projects, from artful invitations to writing on crockery. Learn to embrace mistakes, play around with new ideas and express yourself with beautiful lettering and flourishes. Betty's mantra is 'Practice makes progress', and with her infectious enthusiasm and invaluable guidance, even the most inexperienced of inkers will find their scribbles transformed.
