(Dover Publications, Dec. 8, 2011)
Here's a foolproof and inexpensive way to make charming, traditional silhouettes. Artist Betsy Christy has created a delightful selection of 29 original pictures that are so easy to cut out and make into silhouettes that even children can join in the fun.Appealing scenes include youngsters sledding, skating, building a snowman, and engaging in other seasonal activities; cute little girls chasing a butterfly, playing with a pinwheel, and walking in the rain; and boys playing with a puppy, pushing a wheelbarrow and riding a tricycle. Other cheerful designs depict leprechauns and fairies, reindeer and a carriage, butterflies and birds, and many other seasonal, animal, and floral scenes.Accompanied by concise, easy-to-follow instructions, the designs are crisply printed on one side of each page with solid black on the other. Just select the one you wish to cut out, remove that page, carefully cut out the small areas, then cut around the borders, and you've made a handsome ready-to-use silhouette. They're perfect for framing, mounting on a plaque, adhering to decorative accessories or trimming cards, lampshades, notepaper, posters, plus many other craft projects.
