To Chop or Not To Chop

I have decided to change the initials I sign my work with. Everybody here, and friends at home, know me as YT so I have decided to use those initials for my work. I have played around with them, both capitals and lower case, but they don't easily make a monogram. I tried them side by side but they don't seem to connect gracefully. (See below) I finally decided on a capital T above but connecting into a lowercase y. (See below) It still looked a little plain, no flourish, so I tried it in a chop. (See below) Now I can't decide which is best, to chop or not to chop, what do you think?


I have used it in a chop this time for Joey's Monotangle Challenge. This week it is Margeret Bremner's Jemz, I am not fond of grid tangle patterns for Monotangles so I have turned it into a circle:-

    Love the Jemz ring (too clever!!) and the new initials! The box around them immediately makes me think Professional Artist. Very classy! xo

    Yes yes chop! It looks great. And the ring was a great solution to this challenge. Nicely done.

    Beautiful Jemz ring! The chop is great, and I quite like the left initial too. Not much of a help there, hey...? :-)

    I agree, the chop is great. And I like your ring as a string.
