My New Stairway.....

Okay.....so I am not the best photographer....but I wanted to get it all in

and there is a wall there. So.....I have been wanting to do this for a

very long time & it finally happened. I stenciled 'But as for me & my

house we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15' up the steps of my

staircase. This staircase is in my kitchen & leads to the bedrooms

upstairs. My kitchen is black....red.....& white. I accent with other colors

and I have a silhouette wall which is perfect with the black & white.

Here....I will show you some of my favorites.

This was one of the first 'intricate' ones that I cut. Ironically.....it is

a man cutting a silhouette.....which I found neat. I LOVE the vintage

ledger paper I mounted it on. The old papers took my silhouettes to a new

level. That is one reason I am so grateful for the art community.

So.....having a daughter & a son always makes me want to have boys &

girls together. But I also am not opposed to having 2 girls in a

silhouette. Of course I have nieces & friends. Really.....any silhouette

is game for me.

This is one of my all time favorites. I don't know if you can read the

inscription.....but it says 'Lincoln age 9, May 14, 2006'. My sweet son cut this for

me for Mother's Day. He shot his first turkey that day....so to commemorate the

turkey hunting & Mother's Day....he cut this sweet turkey. I will treasure

this special gift for always. Where ever your artful journey takes you today....I hope

you are blessed. I hope you enjoyed my staircase & some of my

favorite silhouettes.
