Vertical name wall hangings

[Markru2002]

Hello all, I got an order about a month ago, for a name wall hanging but my customer wanted it to be vertical instead of horizonal. I never would have thought to make the name plates this way but so far I have sold 6 name plates. These are the first 3 I made. Since then I make a small cut to seperate the letters, as opposed to a straight line down on the left side. Just a different "angle" on some of the word art so many of us like to scroll. Thanks.

Good job Mark, funny I'd never thought of doing them that way either.

What font is that?

[wood-n-things]

I have to agree. Never crossed my mind...They look nice this way.

Five for Five Lots of possibilities. Thanks for the ideas

Pretty cool Mark.

Thanks everyone, but like I said, it was my customers idea not mine. I wish I could "think outside the box" more. The one I am doing now is "chloe". The H and the L present a slight problem so the only thing I could do is have the L go into the center of the H alittle furthur than normal.

Are you cutting the letters out and arranging them or using a font that does that?
OR perhaps just changing the line spacing?

[Markru2002]

Hi Stephen, It is 1 solid piece of wood. I use print shop 20 to do all my word art. The problem with vertical letters is, I have to make a new "writing box" for each letter as opposed to each word/sentence. I then line them up vertically with the same program. I have used the same font because straight lines are much easier than the fancy swirled fonts. I hope this helps.

I like those, they look good. I made a pattern similar to that as a request for the Welsh Welcome Croeso it is a little different, but the same idea. Here is the link A Welsh welcome • Scroll Saw Village
