Since the project discussed for this issue uses silhouettes, the patterns this time will be silhouettes that can be used for the belt buckles or other small items. You can take an image or pattern that you already have and create a silhouette using a program like Adobe Photoshop or other graphics program.

There is a lot of free information,ideas, and sometimes free products on the web. There is a site, Blaiz Enterprises that has some free software programs of interest. One I use and like is the Font Viewer. It comes in real handy in trying to locate the font I want to burn onto products that customers want personalized with their names or initials. The beauty of this program is that you can select the word or initials you want and the viewer will display them as you scroll through the fonts.
The Font Viewer can be downloaded from: http://blaizfree.net/HOME
.HTM#fviewer 		While you are there, you might want to check out the "Chimer" clock. It is a nice analog clock than can be sized to your needs and will chime, even using nautical ship bells. It can be downloaded from: http://blaizfree
