Other than script, most of the fonts I use, I use all caps. This is one of the few I like the looks of the small letters too.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

Thanks for the list Pete. I had not seen the Scroll Beach font before so I found it, liked it a lot and wanted to try it out. Here is the results.

I cut one of the angle ribbons yesterday and used Red Rit Dye ( liquid) mixed with denatured alcohol. Used an eye dropper and put a couple of droppers full of alcohol then about the same amount of dye. mixed and applied with a small stiff artist brush. The color came out much better that anything else I have used so far.. ( water and dye. dye straight from the bottle). After it dried - about 30 minutes - I applied a second coat and it did improve the color some. I hope to get a picture later. I plan to take it to a show on Saturday and see what happens. I think part of the trick here is to mix what you are going to use all at one time and NEVER try to duplicate that exact color!

Julie,
I refer to the cull bin as the "Wood Dumpster". Tell my wife I'm going dumpster diving when I go there. Found some pretty good stuff too. Last year bought a sheet (4x8) of 1/4 oak ply for 51 cents. Plus they give two cuts for no charge and I had it cut into quaters. Had one small corner broken off.

Cooper Black is my go too font but I also use Word Art ( a font, not the Word Art built into Word. For a different look I use Baltimore. There are some tiny cuts and the letters have "feet". With this font, you have to put in your own bridges. I usually get everything where I want it, then put bridges in the first of each letter that needs one. I copy and past the first so that they all look the same. Hope this makes sense.

I have played around with the Rit Dye some. So far have not used it in a project. I was able to get the best looking color using the liquid and not diluting it at all. Pour enough in a butter tub to cover what you need and then dip. Let dry. I still want to do some more testing. Anyone else tried?
