So im already working on Christmas gifts :x I know, Halloween hasnt even gotten here but im already prepared for that one so I thought I would get a head start on gifts haha Anyways! I decided to go with something I found while looking at DIY blogs. (stalking these sites has become a terrible obsession D: ) craftedniche.com/2011/10/23/encyclopedia-page-silhouettes/I think they are pretty cute! I started on my silhouettes, and this is where I need some outside opinions. Here is my first one: I cant decide if I like it enough to print. Its a bit messy, which i figure isnt the worst thing because it will be on the page of an aged book. But I dont know if they will be able to tell its their dog xD I cant really find a much better picture, but what do you think? And here are my others: Once I get those printed on the pages I was thinking of using these frames: www.walmart.com/ip/Set-of-4-Picture-Frames-Two-Tone-Bronze-Espresso/14962490?findingMethod=rrI like the colors, I thought they might go nice with the aged look of the pages. Maybe ill rough them up a bit with some sand paper. I don't know yet But what do you think? Would these be decent presents or should I trash the idea and think of something else?

Silhouettes are best done using a photo without anything else in it and having a clear movement shot to get the best silhouette effect. So the dog looked at the ball isn't a good shot because you can't tell what it is because there is so much white space. The two birds (owls?) are nice but it'd be better if you could see more of their beaks or some identifying feature that makes them easily distinguishable.
