I adore silhouettes, especially silhouettes by Clay Rice. It is amazing what one man can do with a black piece of paper, a pair of scissors and just a few minutes. I've never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but his work is amazing.
I had Ethan's silhouette done at age 2, and had intended to have Carter & Daxton's done as well, but just never managed to get my act together. Now, after being in our new house for a little over a year, I just can't seem to decide if or where I would want them hung. I have another idea/project up my sleeve for those silhouettes though, don't you worry.
A few years back I stumbled upon Mr. Rice's book "The Lonely Shadow" and have wanted to purchase copies for the boys ever since. Mission accomplished...today! I love the low country feel of the book - the moss on the tress, even the wildlife the shadow meets.
This will be a perfect little Valentine's gift for those sweet boys of mine!
