-** tweak shapes
-* stroke style
-** line thickness = bit * 2.1 (2 to be exact, add .1 to have some space)
-** use rounded joins and caps
-* scale/tweak so there are gaps where need to be
-* stroke to path
-* fill none, stroke yes
-* new path strokestyle, round join and cap, width of bit
-* fix distances of letters
-* redo stroke to path
-* break apart, delete, recombine as necessary
-* fix/tweak
