#38 Ambigrams


I'm forever grateful to Jade, an itinerant ambigrammist (?) at NIE, who introduced me to the art of ambigrams. What other gift can scream 'unique' like a one-of-a-kind combination of two names, that can be read right-side-up and upside-down?

I've since honed my skill somewhat, and dare say I now have my own style, though I still lack speed. This is for all the students I've taught since 2008, all of whom have a little piece of me in their wallets. I know this because they show it to me on Teacher's Day every year.

  1. Hi, interesting hobby you've got there. Guess what, I'm a teacher myself, and I (try to) do ambigrams too!
