Traveling Silhouettes
During my two months traveling in Central Europe this spring, I found a way to make art without holing myself up in the Air BnB: I cut silhouettes! The sabbatical offered a great opportunity to hone the skill while meeting locals and fellow travelers. It was also a great host gift for those who we visited! I ended up cutting 44 silhouettes, which you can see on Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/mkehoss/
Fun fact: I discovered, quite by accident, that when you iron a receipt, it turns dark gray or black! I used only receipts as my silhouette material, instructing recipients that, if it ever fades, they can just iron it again!
