The Simple Art of Celtic Calligraphy by Fiona Graham-Flynn

Celtic calligraphy is an easily recognizable style that epitomizes the ideal of Celtic craftsmanship, from intricate knotwork to animals snaking into the loops of illuminated letters or a script carved in wood or etched on stone. With the help of this guide, you can learn to write the key Celtic scripts and create items to treasure. Fiona Graham-Flynn presents 20 calligraphy projects that are great for beginners and improvers alike. Start with a name plaque for a child's room; create greetings cards with a Celtic blessing; or paint some fairy wishing stones in gold for your garden. All the techniques you need are included – Uncial, Half-uncial and Runic scripts – along with how to draw zoomorphics, the animal ornamentation often seen in illuminated letters.
