Custom Silhouettes

.

I have been trying to come up with some ideas for a little Bailey memorial. Sifting through old black and white negatives wasn't what I had in mind..but rather something a bit more special.

I like the idea of silhouettes, b/c they are simple and classic and something that I can hand down to my daughter.

So, then there is question of digital art or classic paper cut art.

I have this recent profile that I took just for the purpose:



The first option is All Pop Art, which is computer generated. I could get a 16 x 20 stretched canvas piece for about $120 with a off white/black color scheme:

The second option would be Cut Arts, which is fantastic. I could get an 11 x 14 for $75.00, unframed.

The site states, "Each Silhouette is cut out entirely freehand. Karl simply looks at the subject's profile (whether in person or from a photograph) and starts cutting their exact likeness out of black paper. Each Silhouette is an original, one of a kind work of art, signed by the artist."



examples:





I really like the idea that these are hand cut and signed by the artist.

Anyway, I think both places are really neat and though I would pass along the info!
