Silhouette Portraits

Something old is new again. 

I am loving the use of classic, old-time silhouette portraits in home decor these days.  Dating back to the 18th century, silhouette portraits were the classic way of representing a persons appearance. Today, I think silhouette portraits are a really cool way to infuse a graphic element into your wall decor arrangement or even your fashion  statement.  Check out these great images…

Silhouette images don’t have to be of just a person.  I love images of fashion, furniture and objects done in silhouette.

I love the vintage look of these silhouette necklace.

What a great way to capture the images of your family at different stages of their lives.

If you are a DIY person, here’s a great tutorial on how to make your own silhouette portrait.  If not, check out the Etsy site Pretty Faces, where Jackie, a very talented silhouette artist will make a portrait for you.

Happy Friday!  Have a great weekend!

    I love silhouettes – I always have ever since I was a little girl. There’s just something about the starkness of them that after all this time still tickles my fancy. I’ll have to check out Jackie’s Etsy site Pretty Faces. Or maybe, I’ll find some time to make my own. Thanks for sharing.

    Stylishly yours,
    Kalyn
