I love your last post. How about "Silhouette Portrait Quilts".

I keep coming back to your post. Child is adorable, the conversion of the photo is expert and the result admirable. It really shows the possibilities, especially the curls.

However for a commercial venture you might get a better result from the public if the cover showed open eyes and a smile. Your work is lovely as it is--this is just a thought about what sells.

I think it should be the full face of portrait. Like no 3 but the hole face. No picture of the face it takes away from what your trying to display.

With that cover, I would think it's children's quilts. Is it
children's quilts?

Oh wow, yes it does remind me a bit of Scherenschnitte. Not sure I would use that for a title though. Gosh darn, there must be a great name out there that describes what you do and how you do it.

Also, as MTS said (and I have agreed with her on numerous occasions), I also wish people would read the entire thread before commenting. But, MTS, I just don't think it is going to happen. Drives me nuts sometimes (this thread is a prefect example) and obviously, you too. Ah well, life goes on!
