I decided to try to another patchwork piece (Dyan Reaveley) but I wanted to use a home made silohouette of my son holding his son. (My first Grandson) I made the silhouette in Adobe Photoshop by blacking out the photo and then printing it and cutting it out. I had printed the silhouette a little too large because it didn't fit onto the stencil mask that I wanted to cut it out of. But I decided to to just use the paper that I cut it out of. It doesn't transfer onto the left page as well so I just used distress paint to outline it. I then outlined a smaller printed out silhouette. I like that you are able to identify your own family by their silhouette even though you cannot see their faces. You just know who they are. It's personal.
