Sylhouettes by Sylvia -Silhouette Artist: September 2010

Silhouette portraits are symbolic of family, celebration and an era of elegance, and simpler times

At first you may find this not much different than most blogs. But if you read on, you will join me on my journey which includes my family, places I visit, and people I meet. I am very grateful to share my art and consider it an honor to give something to people who have never seen how a silhouette is created or even had their silhouette done before. I love hearing the stories of those who may have posed for a silhouette years ago, at their elementary school, fair, or an amusement park. Some have shared, they still have their silhouette framed and hanging on their wall at home or their mom's wall. Others say it's in a scrapbook or put away in a box. What amazes me, is these stories always come from a good place and people cherish them and hold on to them for many years.

Silhouette art is unique and fun.

Take a Pose

I have a collection of different silhouette cuttings and these are just two of several of these type. My plan was to put them in a setting that would be very appealing. But I put these two in a square black frame.

Barbie Themed Birthday Party

This weekend I was quite busy. A Wedding in Manhattan Beach, Barbie Themed Birthday Party and Oktoberfest in Huntington Beach with Weiner-dog Races. Talk about variety. A few quiet moments. Aahhaah! yep! So, I thought it would be fun for the 13 year old recipient to not only get her silhouette done. I would give her a Barbie Silhouette that seems to be part of the popular Barbie thing now, as for the party decor. Just a fun party idea.

September Here I Come

Well, It's September and I have lots to do. I have been picking through some things and recently found a silhouette of Jasmine (my daughter) I did of her when she was about 7 yrs and a recent on I did of her. You could see the similarities in her profiles from then, and now.
