Remember Making Silhouettes as a Kid?

In kindergarten or first grade, Dad had his silhouette drawn. He then had fun coloring it. It was amazing to him to see a profile view of himself, one he had never seen before.

Well technology has replaced the crayon, at least here. One day the twins may look upon their own profile with similar wonder. 

These were rendered from pictures taken yesterday while they slept. Compressing them to fit the blog's size limits for photos caused some loss of detail. In the originals, their faces have much sharper edges. But then the originals are twice the twins actual head size. These are about 1/2 actual size. The artifacts in the periphery are the result of the the photo border placed around the picture. It is visible in the first picture in the upper left hand corner. In the lower, it appears as a small dot.

Update: Mrs. H asks, "What is that white thing on her portrait?" That is an identifier, an artistic insertion designed to clue the audience in on which child is which. Liesel's nickname was inspired by the character Liesl von Trapp from The Sound of Music. So fittingly, it represents edelweiss tucked in her ear.

Further update: Mom says it should go. What do you think? Leave a comment below.
