Teacher Pattern Needed

[SamCec]

My son-in-law asked me to make a name plate for his desk. He is a Junior High School (7th and 8th grade) teacher.

Other than just a plain name plate, do you folks have any ideas that will stand out. Don't make things to fancy, I'm new at scroll sawing.

Thanks,
Sam

I made two of them years ago for our daughter-in-law and daughter. (both teachers)
I cut out a shape of an apple and cut the names in them at the base.
The name started on the left and went through the apple and ended on the right. The outer letters were positives and the letters in the apple were negitives. Does that make any sence?
I would post a picture but, I can't seem to find it any more.

Thanks. I understand your description about the positive and negative letters. Here is what I came up with.

Way to go Sam. Looks great.

VERY GOOD Sam! You are on top of it!
My apple was a little larger (Red Delicious) and it needs to be a 'positive' like the letters but, you defnatly have the idea.
Be sure to post pictures when you get it cut. In the meantime, I'll try to get my daughter to find hers (she no longer teaches) and take a picture to post.

Thanks for the compliment. Would you believe I sent my daughter (it's her husband we are talking about)  the attached pictures and asked her to pick the one she wanted to give him? She chose the mundane one.

Thanks for your try.
