I made this as a Christmas gift for K. She is still young enough that I can show her things and she doesn't question what they are for so I showed her this. It was interesting to listen to her interpret it. It will hang in her bedroom or in the living room, I am not sure which.
I wrote a tutorial at Suite101 about how to make your own silhouettes from photos.

A photo ornament that I made last years.
What a lovely gift. Something to be proud of. I love the idea of the photo-tree-ornament.
ReplyDeleteI show Issac his gifts all the time--he doesn't care --he likes knowing what is coming, not so keen on surprises. This is adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece and somehow the silhouette does tellits own story.
ReplyDeleteI nlm & grandma would be interested in hearing what K had to say about the silhouettes. NLM
ReplyDeleteVery nice take on an old style of art. I like the Victorian feel.

ReplyDeleteI still have lots of christmas tree ornaments that were made my my girls when they were little... including pictures of them glued to things...

Oh Melissa ~ it's beautiful; what a treasure! My sister and I were always best friends (and still are very close). I love anything that celebrates the beauty of sisterhood.
ReplyDeleteThat is so wonderful. Gifts and decorations with kids' photos or artwork are always the most special.
