OR
what you get when you mix 5 minute silhouettes with old canvas pictures that you were going to get rid of.
Take the photo,
print, cut out, and trace.
{kinda morbid, no?}
Then fill it in. For best results, paint topless.
We could've done a second coat of black paint, but I like the little specks of white. It makes it look aged, rather than a just-did-it-last-Sunday-night-while-watching-Once-Upon-A-Time.
These are so awesome!!
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea....I think they turned out awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day Rebecca! :)
Love that the family silhouettes includes the dog :) Great recycling use of those old art canvases. Really like the balance the silhouette art brings to the piano vignette and I love a classic black / white color theme and it looks like you have one going on there.

You make these look so simple. They really are outstanding. You're so creative.
ReplyDeleteI love how they look on your wall, fabulous arrangement!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea and great family project. I don't think I'll be painting any topless though. LOL! TFS!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! When I get my own house, please come decorate it? Or at least don't hate me stealing ALL your ideas?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have done a similar project in my classroom. Instead of painting the sillouettes I staple the photo to black paper and cut around the photo. I totally embellish eyelashes etc!
ReplyDeleteThis idea would be way more fun for my second graders! Thanx for the idea!
I LOVE your blog! I love your writing, and especially hearing about your rambunctious, irreverent family! mostly because it sounds alot like mine :-D
ReplyDeletewhy not paint the picture you cut and seal it down to the white part? then you wouldn't have to worry about painting over the lines
