Book Review / DIY Type by Dana Tanamachi

Here's a book that is both beautiful and useful!  I've been a fan of Dana Tanamachi's work for several years, and I was so excited to find out about this book:

DIY Type is filled with two sets of sturdy alphabet stencils in the artist's signature serif lettering style as well as ideas and inspiration about how to use these stencils.  Suggestions include personalized notebooks, t-shirts, a monogrammed birthday cake, and even a chalk lettering photo backdrop like the ones that Dana would create for her friends.
After reading through DIY Type, I'm dreaming up some monogrammed artwork for my niece and nephew with these handy stencils.  This book would make a perfect gift for a crafty friend or family member!  The only thing I would have liked to see is a script alphabet as well as the serif alphabets included in the book, but overall, I highly recommend this title!
