Jessica at Henna Caravan (our publishers) suggested a western/rodeo style font to go with the western themed designs in the other three books of the series, and at first, I'll admit, I didn't want to do it. Lettering is something I have struggled with myself.

The more I thought about it though, the more I realized that it would be fairly easy to make a skeleton font based on the "western" style and that you can embellish that skeleton just about any way you want. So I built 26 examples, from really simple to seemingly ornate, of Capital letters and a set of lower case letters done very simply.

All skill levels can enjoy this fun approach to fun mix and match fonts. I found that the mix and match factor made the lettering idea fun for me. My hope is that henna artists working in fast paced settings can add an easy set of 26 designs to their design books and still keep those designs fresh and fun. Especially when those designs are (the formerly dreaded) letters. These letters were made to pair up with other motifs- add a jackalope to a fancy "Z". Combine a cactus, wagon wheel or flower with a mix and match font and you have a custom design that can be done quickly and left your client feeling special and unique. And that is entirely the point.
