For Bride & Groom
Usually when I do this it will be the first names of the bride & groom with
their last initial the largest.

|
Mary
This was so much fun - for a dear friend, Mary.
|
|
Tori
This was for my cousin Tori who would be horrified if I spent a lot of money,
but who had everything in her life...nothing better than her own cipher -
Victoria
|
Mock-up
This was a mock-up I did for an idea for a local gift shop. This
cipher turned out so well, I'm not sure I could do the same for her clients.
|
|
Laura
This is for my sister, Laura, who I treasure above all my family members.
She and I have always been close. I did a toile apron in ivory ground with
red print, and her monogram in red. She's an excellent cook and wears it
for special occasions.

Avise la fin
Consider the end - our family motto and badge. It seems to have been
apropos as all members of this clan, no matter how they lived, have died well
and courageously.
|
Chi Rho
The first letters in the name of Christ are the Greek letters XR or Chi Rho.
This is known as the header in the "Chi Rho" page of the Book of Kells.
|
|
Monogram
Male monograms are the hardest. They deserve them as well as ladies,
however the should be masculine but not so severe all the time. This is
for a cousin.
|
|
Surprise!
My own cipher I use on my business cards.
|
KCKR
Four-letter monogram for bride's gown in blue.
|
|
MOB hankie
MOB (mother of bride) gets to have a special monogram for her daughter's special
day.
|
|
Cipher
A cipher is a group of initials all in the same space. This makes
for a fun challenge to weave them in and out of each other so that
hopefully one looks like the major initial while the others complement .
|
HKMonogram
Classic Monogram.
|
|
Modern monogram
Modern style for a man.
|
|
Portrait
My niece is my muse and I got to practice and do a lot of things that I
wouldn't normallly get to do for a client, like a portrait a la
Fauve of her embroidered on a tote!
