My original version of this nested silhouette was done with thinner paper. I've now gone back and re-cut it in cardstock.


Thumbnail:






I cut John's hand a bit differently this time, toning down the sharp contrast and adding a slight curve. I think it gives a more cohesive look to the piece. The whole thing's the same size as the original, approx. 7" x 5" (not counting base).

I'm happy with the sturdier cardstock; while it still needs to be displayed with something solid behind it (like a bookshelf or wall) for support, that's all it needs to stand upright, a nice improvement over the original (which needed some careful, if discreet, propping).

I'm offering a few of these (cut to order) at my Etsy.

I already asploded at you on the comm post, just replay that. Although I've thoughtfully put down a tarp first here, so no messy cleanup needed.

So very amazing, this.

This is so original and it's breath-taking how recognizable the characters are- love the contrast and the fact that they are two people in the shape of one.

Those would look so awesome in a shadow box with some London type paper behind it!
