Studio blog: metal embossed monogram

This metal embossed monogram is a prototype for an upcoming workshop that I will be running for an outside group.

I liked having a bit of fun with my metal embossing and Celtic knotwork, with added colour using both acrylic and alcohol ink pens. Have a look through the photos in the carousel to see the process from drawing to finished piece.

I didn’t have the deep red I wanted in the alcohol pens, but thankfully they blend so well I was able to create the colour by blending a light blue and strong red directly on the metal.

There are still a few tweaks to make to this before it’s ready for the workshop, but I’m pleased with this first prototype!
