silhouetting & a giveaway!

As I was working on the bag tutorial I promised, I took a break and did some silhouettes of our family. I got too into it and, well, the bag tutorial is coming tomorrow or Monday.

Look how fun...






Ben... A century ago! 
{he loves this one because he's always dreamed of having a beard but I never let him}




And his wife... a century ago.





She insisted hers was to be pink.



Not officially part of our family... but near enough! {This is actually her Christmas present, I wasn't going to post it but I liked it too much} - Our renter, Hillary



Our little 'round head' as Ben likes to call her! {And you can see why...}

So does anyone want one? These were too fun and I'd love to do them for you! 

...


I'm doing a  G I V E A W A Y !

...

Leave a comment on this post by Tuesday, December 7th and I will pick at random someone to receive their family's silhouettes {up to 5}

I'll also be selling them for $5 each. This includes a pdf and jpg file with your choice of background and color. $3 extra for 1800's style {like 'Ben a century ago'} and I'll include the original silhouette as well.

Choose from any of these backgrounds or you are also welcome to print on your own pretty paper, in which case all you would need is the silhouette, {not the background}

vintage letter . colored post cards . black and white post cards


vintage sheet music .  solid with rounded corners .  scalloped circle


swirls with name plate {you can add a name plate to any}

...

Just submit a side photo of yourself or someone {close up is best} against a white background.

Perfect for gifts! Check out this post for ideas.

{i love}: silhouettes

So while researching my family I found we are related to a famous Danish poet, {Knud Lyne Rahbek- there is a museum about him in Denmark- in his old house I might add- I would love to go someday!} Anyway, here is a silhouette of his wife, Kamma. They lived in the 1700's.



I guess silhouettes are just another thing I love from past centuries... and look modern they can look now!









Darling!
