It seems lately I am doing quite a collection of monograms for upholstery. Having just finished the pearl encrusted S about a week ago, I am now finished with two inside chair backs. The M is modified from a previously digitized AL monogram, which for maximum decorative effect, was mirror imaged to form a beautiful emblem.
Single letter monograms are generally not quite as emblematic, and in my search for the perfect historical document, I never found one that was exactly right. That said, I started to review others that could be modified and one that I already had seemed perfect for use. The size of this monogram is 10" wide by 8.25" high - it is a perfectly scaled size to rest on the back of the chair without taking over the chair.
This monogram was digitized by my good friend and digitizing guru Jerilee Auclair - she also managed the color change modification which now makes the M stand out in great glory. The depth of Jerilee's satin stitches is amazing. Next up is a letter A monogram which will be used on a foot board panel of a Michael S. Smith bed. I will be posting that in a few days.
beautiful! what font was used???
ReplyDeleteIt was not a font - it was actually a modification on an antique monogram of an A and L that were mirror imaged to create this wonderful emblem. The M was created by strategically selecting parts of other letters.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, I'd love a whole collection.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for something like a monogram for the MM is there? Where can I buy it?

Hi, how much would you charge for the above M monogram on a piece of my own fabric? I would like to make a curtain pelmet and would like the monogram in golds. Please email me if you can do it janine_ludewig@yahoo.co.uk
