Look! Otis' Silhouettes

2007_01_09_otis.jpg

The ever-creative Shiso Mama (she of Otis' Hipster Room) sent in this cool collage of silhouettes leaning against a wall in said hipster's nursery.

It gets even cooler when you hear the story behind it. And even cooler when you find out that Shiso Mama has shared the how-to with us:

i just bought a frame for this artwork i made for my son, Otis. i made these silhouette cutouts from pictures from the first 18 months of his life. not that he needs to be reminded of what he looks like, but i like to see all these images of him collected in one place - really it's a collection of his crazy hairdos since birth.

i actually wrote up a little tutorial a while back on how to make your own cutouts, in case you're interested. they're pretty easy!

That's really adorable without being cutesy.

Especially since their little heads and hair change so much during the first year.

I may have to file that idea away for future use.
