Antique Window Art: Day 10

Yes... I missed another day. Sorry! This week/weekend has been so CRAZY! I am really going to have to find a better time to post to my blog. But I think my post today will make up for my missing day. :-)


With my hubby being in the Air Force, my family and I get to go on adventures every 2-4 yrs. Who else can say that? When we moved from Virginia to Alaska, my family got very upset and wanted something to keep close to them. So I battled with what to give or make and this is what I came up with.


To start off with I have my Craigslist windows (free), some paint, and some pictures. When you put all of those together this is what you get!

I love old windows and I love silhouettes. My problem was how do I put the two together... I took a close up picture of each of my kids. I enlarged them to 8x10s and placed them on the front of the window. Then all you do is paint the window black when you see the kids' faces. To add a little interest I added sprigs of hair on my son, eye lashes on my girls and added a bit of color to the girls' hair ties.


My mom and sisters LOVED these windows that now hang on their walls. Thank you for viewing today... See yall tomorrow!
