 for her daughter Kym and this is the result.

Beautiful "K" - wow, Gemma! I don't see many K's (or J's for Jon either, for that matter... not great initials from an historical calligraphic point of view [wry grin]). So this is a treat... and just totally gorgeous!

Thank you for your positive comments. I am hoping to be a lot more interactive with my blog and show stuff on an almost daily basis as I work through my commissions ... it will make we work harder... I hope! :-)

I have just set up my celebrants blog you can see that at www.gemmacivilcelebrant.blogspot.com Please let me know if there are any typos or other oddities as I usally do these things flying by the seat of my knickers! LOL
