I do a lot of engravings of children's handwriting, mostly because it is so cute and because it's so important to capture those precious memories of them when they are still little.
However, there are lots of reasons why you might want to have an adult's handwriting engraved into something. I have made a handful of memorial photo frames where I enscribed onto a photo frame an exact copy of the writing of someone who had sadly passed away. They make a beautiful and heartfelt gift.
You may also have some special writing that you would like to have engraved. I spoke to a lady at a craft fair recently who was interested in buying a Christmas present for her calligraphy teacher. She was thinking of having some beautiful calligraphy engraved into a chopping board. She wanted something beautiful but that was also functional.
If you are an avid reader of my blog (and who isn't?!), you may have read a previous post of mine where I talk all about a calligraphy workshop I attended and how I engraved my little piece of art onto a little oak sign.
