Silhouettes

I made an unfortunate impulse buy at Barnes and Noble a few days ago - one of those little gift kits. Sometimes those kits are worth it, but this one was pretty lame. I've always wanted to try cut-paper silhouettes, so I was lured in by the idea of a quick, easy way to do it.

Sadly, the kit turned out to be nothing more than an unhelpful booklet, some (pretty cute) background papers, and a bunch of black paper squares. I could have put that together.

Anyway, I gave it a try, and here are my first attempts below. I do have to say that I like the way they turned out!
