Shadow People

I went on a little walk last night and brought along some shadow people stickers I made to play with the shadows outside.

I love how everything looks like a playground once you add a little person to it!

    @Just me- These are all people from my pictures! For example, the people in the first picture is the couple from this photo-

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/katesokoler/4357543759/in/set-72157621190753548/

    I just paint the background white in photoshop, then I select the people and paint them black. I print them out and then just cut out the shapes!

    This is what they look like on the sheet of paper before I cut them out-

    Hi!!

    I commented yesterday about how I was amused that I'm not the only one whose living space is infiltrated by craft materials!! It was really somewhat touching when I saw your picture working on your thought bubbles. I wrote about it in my blog. Just thought you'd like to know: http://the-art-department.blogspot.com/2010/05/color-me-kismet.html

    P.S. Of course, I love these pictures as well!! :-)
