Watching the credits
for several different series- “Father Brown” and “Mad Men,” I found myself
becoming fascinated by the use of silhouettes. My first project was to make a
silhouette of bees and print them on yellow paper that had a hive pattern. Decided
I preferred a simpler background. Next was seeing what happened when I cut out
a silhouette and glued it down. That added some texture. At the moment, have more
ideas than time, but clearly silhouettes are fascinating to play with.
So some silhouettes
to get you started:
• 25 Beautiful Silhouettes: Free download These can be printed onto cards or fabric, or cut out and glue on.
• Stencils: Google silhouette Stencils and you’ll find
all sorts of interesting ones to download and print. Print them on to card
stock or trace onto vinyl and then cut. These materials will hold up longer
than paper.
• Digital: Create a silhouette image from a photograph using
Photoshop, MicrosoftWord or one of the free sites, such as
Photo-Kako.
