Two years ago I realized I had never had a silhouette of my kids made. I admired Nester's and followed her link to the silhouette artist that she used and recommended.
After visiting with her through her website (she's not local for me), I sent Lena Bengtson a couple of profile photos of my kids with a few special instructions that I wanted included in the silhouette. A short time later I received my silhouettes, framed them, and have enjoyed them every day since. They are not super cheap, but I think are a very fair investment considering the effort and artistry that go into making them, and I'm considering mine an heirloom!
Her precision cuts and attention to detail are remarkable. I love the eyelashes and details with the hair.
Maybe if you had an eagle eye you've noticed them in my home:
I wish I had done this when my kids were little bitty, those baby silhouettes are precious!
I'm working to finish up a project for the Pinterest Challenge Link Party tomorrow, and I've had silhouettes on my mind. Here are some fun images of silhouettes incorporated into the decor:

Alright, I'm off to the dentist and then finishing up my project!
All those projects are so beautiful. Megan
