DIY silhouettes

On Sunday my folks came over to see the house and after 1.5 trips out there (someone forgot the key, but I'm not naming names), Mom came up with a plan for the layout of the kitchen and living room. I'll post a picture later, but first I wanted to tuck this little gem in here.





DIY silhouette art

DIYideas.com provides templates for the silhouettes pictured above, but you could easily personalize things by taking a picture of yourself, your better half, your dog, whatever, and creating a stencil in Photoshop. That's my plan, anyway.

"Create your own dramatic shadow art with black art paper and mat board. Here’s how:

Click on the illustrations and each will appear in its own window. Print, and use a photocopier to enlarge the illustrations to the desired size. Tape the image to heavy black art paper and use a crafts knife to cut through both layers, protecting your work surface with a self-healing mat. Use spray adhesive to adhere the silhouette to white mat board, then frame the finished piece."

Sweet.
