Thanks for participating, Steve. I agree...I prefer the letter S myself. Looks like you got some serious depth.

Zernike: I'm teaching a class this week...maybe next week I can do the C. Your layout of the letter A is excellent! / Sam

Shonn,
There are some examples of the floral embellished alphabet in J.M. Bergling's book "Art Monograms & Lettering".
I don't know where you can find a copy, but GRS has it in their book section. Also Sam gives some tips on how to do your own design in Tips and Tricks I think.

I’ve been experimenting with different engravers for shading – found one that felt comfortable and I thought this would be a good exercise to test it on. I did manage to get the C turned around this time.

Finally got a chance to do this last night.

I used a bit of copper left over from making a bracelet and didn't want to waste it so I turned it into a tag. No family members whose name starts with 'C' but the brother who has yet to get anything engraved has a dog named 'Clyde' so it's officially a dog tag. ;)

This was fun, and I obviously need the practice.

Thanks Sam! :)
