Just a Little Fun

I have been a little obsessed with silhouettes lately, I figured out how to make them on GIMP and did one of Olivia, then my nephew Wally, I'm still trying to get a good profile shot of Erik.

Then I started thinking about making art out of them, like this pillow

I got the image from The Graphics Fairy then rescaled it in GIMP to make it fit on a 13X13 square.
After printing I traced it onto wonder under backed fabric.
Cut it out and applied it to the pillow cover I made out of this adorable print. Which I really want to make a shirt or dress out of but I have a lot of it so why not use some?  Vintage lace dressed it up a bit.
Simple to try yourself, or you can find this one in the shop.
