JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I am looking to add the words Forever Together within the heart shown. I would like to have the word Forever on the left side of the heart and the word Together on the right side of the heart. The word needs to be centered between the tip of the heart on top to the start of the notch on the bottom. Of course needs to follow the arc of the heart shape if that makes sense. Here is the part that is stumping me. First off not sure of the font so hopefully someone can select a scrollable font that is either written in script or individual letters or one of both and I will decide. The other part and I have looked for examples and found this both ways. To start the word Forever from top to bottom or from bottom to top and make it look circular because the word Together will definitely be top to bottom. I am thinking both words top to bottom. If someone want to put up some examples of script and or block letters before they attempt the insertion in the heart that is OK too. I am thinking a script would look nicer. I hope this makes sense and hope the photo will work. I just snapped a photo of the print and blocked out the center of the heart. If there is something else I can add please let me know. Thanks again for the attempts at this. Edited January 6, 2020 by JTTHECLOCKMAN Quote
cowboyup3371 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 Have you tried using Microsoft Word to add the lettering around the hearts using one of the fonts within it and then resize per whatever looks good? If the hearts are from a separate JPG file then you can import it and add your lettering based on the sizing you want. I did that with both of the clocks I built for my two uncles where I wrote their last names in script (burned one in and scrolled the second). Once my posts show up, you should be able to see the second clock with the scroll work in the bragging rights forum. Quote

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Yes that is the jist of it. Maybe not so far stretched out. Again not sure if the Forever should start from the bottom or the top like that. I am looking for suggestions also so that those two words are placed within that spacing like that. The font weather block letter or script can be your choice. I have tried looking for examples on pinterest but have not come up with anything yet. Thanks.

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I am still in need of some help. I hope some pattern maker can set this up for me. I do not have the ability to curve the letters or else I would have done it myself. I have included another photo showing what my intent is. Hope you can follow and if any questions please ask. I do not know the font used in my example so if someone has something close use that and I will decide. Thanks again. Need to bump this because no takers. It has to be scrollable so no floaters. One of each would be nice so I could choose. written or seperate letters. Edited January 13, 2020 by JTTHECLOCKMAN Quote
Foxfold Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 Have tried again for you, just not sure if this is what you want. No bridges !! NameHeart.pdf frankorona 1 Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Posted January 14, 2020 Brenda I commend you for trying and thank you. But looking for the words to be read on the angle the heart goes as I have them written out on the sides. Not stacked. More like the pendants I had shown. But in the center of the heart sides thus the center line. Either "together forever" or "forever together" it makes no difference. I am trying to use a little fancier lettering because this piece needs more than standard block lettering after I get done with the entire project. Thank you. Foxfold 1 Quote

Would it be possible to do this in a scrollable script form too so I could choose?? If not this works well. What program do you use to do things like this?? I tried to use Inkscape but can not bend the letters and have basically no experience with the program. I tried teaching myself somethings from Travis' posts. But I am old and takes a rock in the head to get new things in there. Thank you for doing this. Dave I printed it out and you can forget the script. This is great the way it is. Perfect and looks better on paper. Thanks again. Love it. Edited January 14, 2020 by JTTHECLOCKMAN Foxfold and Dave Monk 2 Quote
Foxfold Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 @Dave Monk That's brilliant. John, don't worry I knew that mine didn't look 'right' but I thought it might get you a response from elsewhere as it had been a week since you put up your request. Dave's done a fabulous job with that pattern. !! Dave Monk 1 Quote

In the mean time I need someone like you to help. Thanks again for the pattern. This should work well. Going through a family crisis now so shop time is nill. In fact heading to the hospital now. Thanks again. Quote
