Sylhouettes by Sylvia -Silhouette Artist: paper cutting

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.

Another Month Flies By...

And I haven't made time to keep up with this blogging thing. Oh my. Well, let's see. I have been cutting silhouettes at some weddings and that has been keeping me busy. I guess I will include a couple of the double silhouette I have done for my wedding couples.

My problem is that I get so busy with cutting silhouettes of the guests, I don't have time to stop and take photos of my area and finished product. Maybe the photographers will send me some later. The reviews I get back are great though. I am proud of those.

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.

Well it's been a long time...

Yep, I lost touch for awhile with the ol' blog here. Just after I started a relationship with it. I wanted to get this thing started and then a series of events got in the way, like life got . I hope the blogger can forgive me. As I start anew, I promise to write most everyday. Add a new piece of artwork or picture or perspective to go with it. It's still early in the year and Sylhouettes by Sylvia has gotten off to a slow start. But we will get there. God willing. It's Holy Week and Easter is around the corner. Maybe it's a better week to get this blog off the ground.
