Title: pattern help
Post by: Shogun on June 19, 2013, 10:47:38 am

Hi everyone, Could someone help me with a pattern, I've tried for 2 hours using different programs and just can't make things match up. What I need is a 7-1/2" or 8" hollow heart with the letters in a cupid font that reads: God Bless The Broken Road.
Thank you once again.

Paul, I really appreciate the effort, but my friend wants a hollow heart with just the saying inside in a cupid font.

There are a bunch of Cupid fonts, including some that are just images. Did you have a particular one in mind? Maybe post a word doc with that font used?

Here's a sample of a font called "Cupid Normal". Does this look like the font you want to use?

I agree with Ray, there are a bunch of Cupid fonts out there. You need to post an example. That one looks a lot like Cooper Black.  8)

Here's a guess. The heart is a little abstract and could be simplified, if that's what you need. Let us know.

I don't know why this is called Cupid Normal, but it comes from this site:

Here's another to consider...

The inner heart shape could be deleted if preferred.

Here is what I came up with. Like Russ and Ray said a lot of cupid fonts available and most are shapes and very few true type fonts, if you post the exact font that would be helpful.

Ray, that's the one...cupid normal. I apologize. I did not know there was more than one font called cupid.

Mahendra had the closest on to what I'm looking for. Something like that with a cupid normal font would work great.

That is a Cooper Black font :)
Here is my new attempt with the cupid fonts(aka cooper black :) )

Try this. Using Cupid Normal, varied from 20 point to 60 point.

HOW ABOUT THIS.  8)  

P.S. any time you put that many words into an odd container/shape it is not easy, and it is hard to make it look good.  8)

Wow, you never cease to amaze me with all the patterns you produce.

Everyone, I took these patterns to work and showed my buddy and after seeing them he chose the one by loftyhermes because he liked the font better that the cupid which was what he originally saw. I want to take a moment to thank EVERYONE. All of you are so kind to share your work, thoughts, advice and experience and that is why I love this place. I learn more all the time. I hope everyone knows none of this goes unappreciated by me.
