Silhouettes

Silhouettes aren't just for elementary school crafts anymore-- they're making a comeback as lovely home decor and grown-up gifts!

Check out these custom made silhouette his and her mugs from Miss Crowland:


Or this needlepoint belt buckle from Needle You:


I'm loving this modern personalized print from Nella Designs:


And this custom silhouette wedding poster from Ello There would make a great wedding gift:


A few months ago, I tried my hand at silhouette art to decorate our bedroom. I found this fantastic tutorial from The Fab Miss B and got to work. It was surprisingly simple! Here was my end result:



I was quite pleased with the final product!! Do you have any silhouette art in your house?
