Monograms by Arona

	This monogram is my favorite. It is my initials twisted around eachother. The large letter in the center is the Shin for my last name. The letters on each side of the Shin are the Aleph for my first name, and the Mem for my middle name.
This monogram was a very different idea. I drew the two letters for each of the first names inside a large drawing of the first letter of the last name. The outer larger letter is the Mem. The twist here is that I made the first letter of each of their first names out of the negative space inside the Mem. You can see the lighter area inside the Mem is in fact a Mem for the first name of the woman, and an Aleph for the first name of the man. Additionally, I connected the inner Mem and Aleph by using the same piece to make the top branch of the Aleph and the little piece of the Mem.
	This design is a very popular one. It is a flower made of the first letter of the couple’s names. The flower is made of the Shin for the couple's last name. The leaves are the first letter of each of their first and middle names. The left leaf is made of a Yud and an Ayin for the man's first and middle names. The right leaf is made of an Aleph and a Mem for the woman's first and middle names.
