A black paper silhouette of your profile

Make it in TelegramThe outline does everything
A silhouette has no face detail, so the profile line carries the likeness. A forehead, a nose and a chin should read clearly. Hair shape matters too, whether a ponytail, a quiff or a headscarf. If the profile looks generic, send a sharper side photo and rerun with 'exact profile outline, no smoothing'. Plain black fill keeps the style authentic.
Gifts and place cards
Silhouettes look beautiful in small oval frames, on place cards and on printed greeting cards. Print on cream stock and cut the oval if you want a vintage touch. The look is a general historic craft and does not copy a specific artist. A family of silhouettes in matching frames makes a dignified wall arrangement for a hallway. Add a thin cream mat to give each frame breathing room.
Tips
- Send a true side view.
- Mention hair shape, such as a bun or curls.
- Choose cream and black only.
- Add a thin oval frame.
