This is one of my favorite exercises — manipulating text by placing, overlapping, flipping, sizing and rotation to apparently form some other object, especially easy using the text and selection tools found in Inkscape. Fonts are art in and of themselves. Using this technique really celebrates the beautiful joints of well designed fonts. In this case, I made a teddy bear using the characters O, 3, E, ), D, and C. The only forms which are not text are the claws, which probably shouldn’t be on a teddy bear anyway. Oh, bother.
