silhouette 101

i've been working on a silhouette of payton for her room and finally finished.

i really wanted an oval frame, but they are usually more expensive until i found this mirror from hobby lobby for $5. i figured i could cover the mirror and act like its a frame and you would never know...well until i admitted to you.

there are many ways to do this, but here's how i did it.

• i took a pic of payton
• printed it out
• cut it out very carefully & added the scoop neck
• traced it on to black paper

as you can see below i ended up with this more modern flare of a silhouette by tracing it again on to a patterned paper

i did like how her features were really defined in the blk/wht

but i just wanted something different.

*now you should try it on you, kids, dog, cat....... you name it*
