    Now I know who I want when I commission my tombstone.
    That is elegant and just too nice.
    Love….Jill

    Great stuff Nobby

    Can’t make a mistake and get away with it so easily. 😀

    At least if we get it wrong when painting we can quickly wipe out with spirits. Can’t do that with stone though. 😀

    Have there been times where you have actually used a mistake to embellish. I say that because I used to do that when slapping in signwriting without templates. Just writing in-situ and at a fast pace we perhaps ended up a little short and added a little flourish at the end. Customer thought it was great getting a little extra.

    John 😀

    Hi John, Hope you had a good weekend away?? T=Yes I always try to aim slightly short of the right hand side whatever I am doing be it signwriting or lettercarving and hope that the last letter is a “G” or “R” . Fortunately not many words end with an “O” or an “I”……a blessing in disguise!! :lol1: :lol1:
