cool and crisp

A custom monogram sure does add an air of cool and crisp - to linens, paper or porcelain.
Perhaps even on a melamine dish this would be magnificent.
My client wanted something mod, fresh and octagonal.
But you know me, I have to explore all the design possibilities.
How about this pretty one for a pillow. I would love it in white on white linen.
Imagine it on a linen hand towel for guests to covet.
A Quatre-foil inspired monogram which helped me to cleverly utilize all four initials.
Not to worry, I painted the leaves green on the right before I sent to my client.

I have some more ideas for a cool and crisp weekend.
It feels delightful after that mini heatwave.

Have a cool weekend. Chill out and take it easy with something monogrammed...I hope.

Those monograms, in a word, are STUNNING! Great work Patricia - love them. All three are perfect, and I loved the new vibe with the 1st and 3rd.

Here's to the weekend!

PVE,

How lovely these are! I see them embroidered on flax colored linen tote bags for day travel, shopping, and as gifts for summer B-Day friends and family. Great on the back of a hoodie too! Oh stop...possibilities are endless!
