I decided to do a monogram. I got the idea to "frame" it in the center of a saucer that was missing its tea cup. The monogram was done on a 2 inch round of Diploma parchment. The "K" was gilded with 23 karat gold over a base of Robersons Water Gold Size. It's more forgiving and less fussy than the Instacoll used in class. The "C" and the "R" were painted with shell gold for contrast and then tooled with some designs.
This is gorgeous, so elegant and rich looking, really impressive. How long do you need to make a monogram like this? Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm so bad at keeping track of how long something takes. This was a 3 day project with the design phase (looking through books and online for monogram ideas) and then sketching and drawing taking the longest.
DeleteWhat a scathingly brilliant idea! :D
ReplyDelete:-D Thank you, Hayley Mills!
DeleteNice monogram. I thought it was part of the saucer. Great way to show it! :) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be a fun way to repurpose the saucer.
DeleteTrying to play catch up here. Sorry I'm so late visiting. This is an incredible saucer and a useful addition to your class. Sometimes class projects get tossed after the class is over, but I know you won't toss this beauty!
ReplyDeleteYup, this one's a keeper
DeleteWell done! That is brilliant! A lot of work went into this! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacey
