Have a great day
Making a word cloud is simple, weather you do it yourself or use one of the automatic word cloud programs.
I Googled making word clouds and found auto generators at WordClouds.com, http://www.wordle.net . . .and the list goes on.
I found wordclouds.com a little frustrating, I could not make the names I wanted to be larger. I found Wordle.net easier to use
On the first tote I made the current generation the largest, our grandparents and children the next size down, Great Grandparents and Grandchildren the next size down, etc. On the second tote I made my mother and fathers surnames the largest, my husband(s) names next, same size as grandparents, great grandparents a little smaller and great great grandparents the smallest.
Over the years I have transferred line art to fabric using every method I could find and finally arrived on a product that is simple to use, and irons onto the fabric in the colors I wanted and possibly could have left “As Is”, but I wanted some texture and left the transfer light enough to color over it. My favorite transfer pen ever is the Silky Iron-On Transfer Pens, available in eight colors.
Supplies:
Favorite Transfer Pen ever:
Some of my favorite medium that did not run or bleed on the course tote fabric:
Uchida 122-6A Fabric Ball and Brush Marker, Set of 6
Went down creamy and rich. Ironed permenant.
Pentel Arts Fabric Fun Kit, Pastel Dye Sticks (PTS15BNABP)
