I have a workable pattern, but maybe somebody can clean it up? The letters are thin and maybe those smarter then me can show me how to remove the words and then re add?

Thanks

Here is a quick blank. Is there a certain font you would like?
Ike
02-19-2009, 10:25 PM
Wow thanks! I am not sure what the font style is, I thought it was Times Roman, but it isn't any ideals?

Maybe if some body doesn't mind to make it into a mpc or ptn? I have a descent copy I made, but it can be better!

Yep! Funny thing my sign business has been slow and this week alone I have 3 orders! One for $1400.00 this one for a $100.00 and another for about $25 -$30.00!

I need to sell soda!!!.

Great minds think alike! I have one really close I too add a medium draft. Maybe it is the best. The sign is 11" by 17" and I know the experts like Chris Alb has removed the words. But I have that now, but I am not sure if I have the font needed!

Jeff, close, but Ray nailed it. The font is Trajan, Ray if you have that font do you mind adding it to the modified image you posted?

Hi Ike

I have to say something about the glass being half full. I thought about that saying for years off & on and I came up with my answer to it. See if you like it or not? Most people are just grabbing the wrong size glass for the amount they want.

Hey Ike,

Saw this thread this morning and took a few minutes to play. Wondered if you could use one where all the mountains and such are layered from the furthest to the closest?

Thanks Chris! I was hoping you would give a try! I Have a ways to go and I yield to the master! I like the layer look, but the background needs to be deeper. But this gives me all the tools I need to make a great sign..... To make a great sign made by all of us!

Very nice! I was trying to be a smarty pants... some see the glass half full others half empty..... then some full of their self! So yes you are correct most people grab the wrong glass!

Actually Ike, it has no background as I removed it. However I do have a version that has the thick black frame around it if that will help.

Let me get to my other computer and I'll post it in this post under an EDIT......

EDIT:

See if this one is a bit easier to work with. I noticed this morning that to use that first one, you have to put it in carved region that has a depth that matches the furthest back layer in depth. This one has a frame around it at the hight of the closest layer.

Jeff I am opened to suggestions, from the other contest I was offered help with the prizes, but that was it just an offer no follow through!

I enjoy these contest and want to be able to enter this one! So if I need to kick in a soda or two so be it!

Well this is just a thought, but I would think that if someone had a paypal account set up and everyone would put in 5 or 10 bucks to enter the contest, then we could either pay out places by paypal to the winners or you could be compensated for your prizes you are providing. With the flavor of today's economy, you should not be our stimulus package.

Just my thoughts

Thanks Michael, I delivered it today and received well it is nice! The boss who ordered the sign was out of the office. I hope he likes it! I not sure how closers I can get the ol' CW did a great job copying it to a "T"! I tried to paint it the same way as their brochure and was pleased with it!

Thanks again all,

Ike
