Silhouettes anyone?

[Pugrpooh]

When we were at WDW in 1989, we had silhouettes made of our 2 DD's. He did a terrific job, and I can look at it today and picture them as they were then -- it was such a good likeness. Then we had one made at DL and it was just ok -- it didn't really capture their personalities as well. With our third DD, we had one made a couple of years ago at WDW and I was not real impressed.

We'll be back in a week and a half, and DD3 wants to have another silhouette made. Has anyone done this lately and had good results? Is there a particular artist that I should look for? I'd like to have a good one of her too.

Thanks

We had one of our DD the week before her 2nd birthday, May of 2004. It is adorable. When I look at it I can see her sitting there. It captured her spunky personality. We had it done right across from Ye Old Christmas Shoppe in Liberty Square. It was a middle aged woman. Sorry I don't know her name.
We will be getting both DD now 4 and DS 18 mo done in April!

Good luck! Our silhouettes are old, the one of dh and I was done in 1985, our first trip ever to WDW and then we had our 2 dds done 1988. Both are fantastic likenesses and I love em!

You will find the artists in each of the parks as well as Downtown Disney. I'm guessing all of them are terrific. The ones we had done in December are a real treasure.

It's amazing how the really good ones can capture so much personality in just 2 dimensions and one color! We'll try it again with her; she's turning 4 while we're there and it is a nice souvenir.

What is the price range for these?

We had one done with all 7 of us in the picture(me dh and 5 kids) 3 of my kids and my dh wear glasses---the mid-age woman at the liberty tree place did ours and everyone comments on the details and how it looks like all of us---i bought both views and have them hanging paired on either side of another piece of art!--my guests comment more on the sils than the art!!!

What is the price range for these?

Ditto that. Anyone remember the pricing?

We did a silhouette of our 1 year old at the stand in Liberty Square, which turned out OK. You get two (one facing in each direction) for less than $10

Wow, I thought, for some strange reason that they had stopped doing that at WDW. My Dad still has one of me sitting on his office shelf. I think I was 9 years old when it was done...kinda weird for me to look at since I am 30 yrs old now.

In October 1 Granddaughter had her silhouette done near the Christmas shop. It only takes a few minutes. Everytime 2 years she get a silhouette done.

The other Granddaughter got a charcoal done. The charcoal took about 1/2 hour to complete.

Both came out very good.
