Would anyone like to be referred for this job? Customer wants a plaque put on the bottom of a 3" frame. Art is deep blue and black. Blue rose on black. Here's what he wants:


The design I think I am leaning towards is a heart shaped monogram of our initials along with the wedding date underneath. However, I am still trying to figure out how to come up with the art for this design so I am starting to think it might be easier to try and figure this out on my own since it's not really a framing request as much anymore.

I would be curious to know if anything comes to your mind right away for how to do this if you have a minute. If you click this link: l and take a look at the lettering for the Diamond and Round Monograms that is what I am looking for, except I would like it to be in the shape of a heart.
 
Or, maybe Bob Carter can do the engraving right on a frame.
He's got the laser engraver and puts stuff like that right in the wood.
 
Kirstie, you don't want this job? Send 'em up to my shop, we'll work with them. There's an engraver I use quite a bit in Concord (http://www.alpineawards.com/). Mat cutting we'd do in house on the Wizard.

We are already building the frame. My local source for name plates went out of business and the other local one seems to offer a limited style choice. So I'm looking for a new engraver.

This customer's needs are so specific that I think it will be best if he works with the engraver directly. Thanks.
