Finding New Fonts

I wanted to find some new fonts that would add to the vintage feel of my tin artwork. Not being a very adept IT person it took me an hour or so to work out how to add fonts to my Pages menu. Some font additions can be cut and actually pasted onto images. I also want to play with combining images and font online. 

I found a wide range of fonts on this site including Mom's Typewriter which I particularly liked

Here is a picture I've been saving for a tin, wall plaque or as a basis for a lino-cut with the added font and my caption.


Here is another use of the font. This time with an image I found online and gave a pen and ink effect using an art filter.

The actual process of incorporating the new fonts onto my Pages font list took a little thought and effort. I used this advice. An afternoon has just vanished whilst I've been fiddling with all this technology. Still - it's pretty murky outside and Nicky is down in the workroom creating another lovely little wooden animal so it was a good time for time-wasting!
