Monogram Assignment! (part 1)

This assignment requires us to make our own monogram and stencil them on 6 items of our choice. I was excited about this assignment because I have always wanted to make my own products or even start my own product line in the future!

During high school I started my very own business of making felt food. Basically it's felt sewn to look like food. I make felt food as gifts for my friends and families until one day my friend offered to pay for me to make two felt donuts for her sister's birthday. I agreed and gave her a really reasonable price. Not long after I received many orders and I started making more kinds of felt food. The one I was most proud of was that one of my friend asked me to make a giant cake to be brought to Australia for his sister's birthday. It took me a few weeks to make that cake, and the pay was good. Unfortunately I ended my business not long before SPM started, because I have to concentrate on my exams. Some orders had to be cancelled and I felt really bad. I didn't manage start the business again because I found a part time job in a pet shop! Something really exciting and fun to keep me busy and to earn some extra pocket money during the holidays. I worked there until a few days before my first semester in Taylors started.

Some pictures to share:





"The giant cake"
Found this picture my friend sent me.
 I can't find the clearer pictures I took myself :(


Back to the assignment!

Here are some sketches of the monogram I did:

I started off with some unicorns and alpacas......

Then I combined the V and L
Then sketched a sophisticated looking monogram

Then I sketched this one and I quite like it,
 but both Miss Lisa and I thought something is still missing

So I added and removed some parts of the monogram....

With a few more adjustments....and viola!
My finalized monogram
