They are called "word clouds" ........and you can make them at wordle dot net or tagxedo dot com. You see this type of stuff on picture frames all the time.....someone as graphically challenged as myself just assumed that someone made it word-by-word and font-by-font.......I had no idea that there was a program that made these!

Live and learn..I may have seen one of these things somewhere but I undoubtedly was not impressed as it being visually stunning :)

Hey!!! This is cool. You can enter a url, and it gathers words from the address and turns it into a cloud of many shapes....
Here's the url of this thread on the creek. It will also allow you to save it as a 2meg png, which could be reworked into a line art file for engraving..
Thanks Steve.. This is a good find!

This was a great find, Steve, whether "creatively challenged" or not! It certainly makes fast work of things, thanks for posting!

Ooo...fun!
I've seen these sites before, but never thought to engrave them! Very cool with lots of custom options!
