Names to Hang on Wall
« on: February 10, 2014, 12:40:16 pm »
Recently I have had 2 requests for names that could be hung on a wall. Does anyone know of a software or tool to make patterns for names? I know the one on the website does names for a desk or key chain, but I need one that creates them to look good on a wall.

Inkscape? Is that freeware or shareware? I will have to look that up. Still open to other suggestions and comments too. Thanks for this one.

Okay, I have inkscape now, but it looks intimidating. What font would you suggest?

Black Rose is a very nice font for scrolling names.

I don't see black rose font. Guess I will just have to play around with it. If anyone else has a specific font good for making names to hang on the wall let me know.

For you, Judy, anything. =) Yes, when I get one of the names done I will post to show it. However, this is the video I learned from. Should be familiar to you all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NV8aFm9Oh0
