I was wondering what you thought about trying to make the silhouettes more like cameos -- you know, maybe brown paint and a tannish/cream backround in a oval frame? Would that look good?M.

I used black acrylic craft paint. I did paint over the actual picture. However, I had to turn it over and paint on the back of it because I couldn't bear to paint over her beautiful face :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382299215040850847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536964614643414021.post-84076306034748598872008-11-20T21:23:00.000-05:002008-11-20T21:23:00.000-05:00Hi there.

Also, the site you linked to said she cut the pic out and then used the outside part as a template (unless I'm reading this wrong which is entirely possible!). Did you use the actual pic of O and then paint it over w/ black? Thanks, can't wait to try.<BR/>MGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536964614643414021.post-73899498935831096002008-11-17T13:23:00.000-05:002008-11-17T13:23:00.000-05:00Ok, I have questions.
