NC Scroller Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 To not hijack the thread started by DW I will ask here.... What software or other tools do you folks use to make intersecting word art patterns? I really do not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 The main one I've see is Inkscape. It's freeware and Travis has explained how to use it here in the Village. It's linked on our main page. NC Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Hayes Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Got to agree. Inkscape is fairly easy to learn. I am 60+ and learned it. GrampaJim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobscroll Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi Scott, It's Inkscape for me and Travis has done some great tutorials for it! Bob NC Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I run corel draw. But for intersecting word art, I use inkscape. Much easier then jumping through the hoops. NC Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Is there a better place to down load inkScape over another. I did down load once but my computer was concerned with virus when I did and other things went strange so I just deleted it from the computer. Shortly after the computer kind of got sick and the only thing I could do was reset to factory set up and lost everything. Was able to down load the Microsoft up dates and am able to function again sort of have been afraid to retry. I really would like to do the word art but will have to think about it.

Travis Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 inkscape.org is the official website. Its safe there. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordster Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I use corel draw and find it easy. I believe there is a home site for inkscape which is safe to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I also use Inkscape and learned from the tutorial post that Travis made in the university part of the forum, I believe. If you practice making about thereof them, after you understand the procedure , you should be about to make a new patterns about 4 or 5 minutes, max Dick heppnerguy NC Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab4 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 What is "intersecting" Wood Art? Sam Hi Sam: Are you ever going to be sorry you asked this question. After you go to the tutorial that Travis left. Post #13. You are going to be hooked. You will try to follow the tutorial, get slightly frustrated because you missed one or two things on the video, you will go back and watch it again and get it right this time. This is where you get hooked. Once you make your own pattern, you will be amazed as to how easy it really is, thanks to the tutorial from Travis. Inkscape is what I use also. Good luck, have fun and stay safe Fab4 Gordster and NC Scroller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam777 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thank you Travis, AND ALL of you gentlemen for the support. I am afraid of getting more hooked between the JOB and my home projects, my time is spread sooooo thin that my days fly by in a blink Thanks again for all the help. I am REALLY so glad I found this forum and the wealth of knowledge and willingness to help others. It is amazing. Sam tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Hi Sam: The only thing amazing at the Village is Kevin Everything else is simply "AWESOME" Your job and home projects will get in the way, that's for sure Whoever came up with a 24 hour day obviously didn't have a scroll saw and a fantastic group to deal with.
