Cool! Reminds me of a school project we did many years ago.

That's where I got the idea! I remember doing silhouettes in third grade and thought it was a lot of fun. I'm just glad there was an easy solution for getting my squirmy kids' profiles.

These were very popular in the sixties. I've always liked them.

They are a lot of fun and were a cheaper alternative to a professional family portrait. :)

I bet they were fun to make Rachael. I'm sure you're family likes having a place of honor on your walls.
Where is Jewell, IA? I've never heard of it before. I'm from eastern Iowa and also lived in Des Moines.

How ironic--I am from Lincoln, NE (I see you're in Blair, NE)! Jewell is about 45 mins north of Des Moines off I-35 (do you know where Story City is?). We actually live a bit south of it in the country but it is a fun little town!

Now that's crazy. We're heading to Lincoln tomorrow to pick up something I ordered from an unfinished furniture store there. And yes, I know where Story City is. My hubby's brother and family lived there at one time. Small world. My hubby's family still lives in and around Des Moines.
