A MODERN TAKE ON AN OLD ART

I stumbled across some gorgeous cards recently. Petite Prints allows you to customize their products by sending in a sideshot picture of a person, animal, etc. Owner/artist Susie makes a silhouette of the photo which can be printed on cards, stationery, notecards, gift tags, paperweights - even t-shirts and needlepoint kits. Silhouettes have always been popular - look at those cool iPod commercials - and Susie makes it affordable to put them on items you'll use and share with others. These would also make great gifts - take a friend's photo and put it on gift tags for her to use. But the needlepoint kits are my personal favorites - Susie has scads of color combinations that she handpaints on the canvas when she receives a photo and order. I just ordered an espresso-colored silhouette on a mustard background (there goes my craft budget for the month!).
