I came across several vintage / antique letter forms used for embroidering those wonderful scrolled monograms. The forms are placed on the spot where you want the monogram to go and are embroidered over them. Okay, I am sure there were many an artist that free handed it!
The monogram forms can be purchased in my Etsy shop or they be purchased by emailing me at gizmosetsy@gmail.com. I have the letter "K" ( 8 of them), and the letter "M" some of which could be used as a "W" I suppose. The letters are in or on their original packaging, and all but one package is unopened. There are scroll Victorian style letter "M's", in various sizes and another set that look Roman. The "K's" are a simpler scroll style.
Following are a few example pictures of the letters.
See you on Etsy, or the Vintage Village!
Possibly a very silly ? and/or obvious but how do they get the form out after they embroider over them?
ReplyDeleteHi, sorry, have not been posting so missed your comment. The embroidery is done over the form, so it is not removed. This gives that depth to the embroidery that is seen on many of the older pieces.
