Heraldic Artist and Calligrapher in Glasgow.

I design and handpaint paint single or double initial letters in colour (or in 23c gold leaf or Palladium leaf for silver) for handmade Birthday or Wedding Anniversary gifts.

As well as handpainted letters, I also have fantasy animal cards, calligraphy placemats and a selection of calligraphy giclée art prints of sayings and quotes including a selection from JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings..

Thanks for having a look in my shop.

Thistles are both decorative and stylish and I love to paint them - from the pale and darker shades of purple in the flowerheads to adding the tiny hairs along the stems which help to soften the greens and bring the colours together.

That and also, purple is my favourite colour.

Custom idea - letters painted in green also look great with thistles. Let me know before ordering if you would prefer that.

This is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.

Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

Full description

Manuscript initial letter 'Q' handpainted in purple with Scots thistles on high quality watercolour paper and framed within a square ivory mount.

Thistles are universally known as the emblem of Scotland and all things Scots - representing both strength and defiance, both very Scottish traits (at least we like to think so!)

CUSTOM IDEA - I could also paint the letter in a paler lilac (or in light or dark green?) so if you think you might prefer either of those colours get in touch with me before ordering and I'll be happy to paint your initial for you.

Your order will be sent within 3-5 days of being placed and paid for - by First Class if to within the UK and by Airmail if to outside the UK. (Rest assured I will pack your initial in several layers of cardboard to ensure you receive it in perfect condition.)

Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions at all.

Thanks.

Finished size is - 120 x 120mm or 4 and 3/4 square.

Designed by Clare M McCrory in Edinburgh
