Silhouettes at a Grand Opening 3-day event!

 After doing Boot Barn's Newark, Delaware Grand Opening, I was invited back for another similar weekend event, in Cherry Hill, NJ recently. The customers were surprised and delighted to get their very own silhouette cut out right in front of them in the blink of an eye!

This gig saw the first use of my new pull-up banner for silhouette events! Thanks, Goshen Signs!

I worked alongside some other charming vendors---live musicians and unique food trucks--BB's event planner definitely knows what she's doing to make it a very special day for the new customers. (Thank you for having me again!)

I mean, THIS is just one of the other treats besides my art! ;-)

Silhouettes at "Beary Loved"--a Valentine's Day event in Boyertown, PA

 A balmy Saurday afternoon is rare for February--unusual, but very much enjoyed---especially because it made a wonderful event even better. "Beary Loved" was a town-wide Valentine-themed festivity that folks could enjoy in all sorts of ways, including getting a silhouette from me!

I was situated in Studio B Art gallery, along with caricaturist Courtney, (whom I had just worked with on the previous evening!) and a harpist, Cindy DePietrio, who enhanced the romantic atmosphere by playing just outside the front door and luring folks in. :-)

Courtney had never seen live silhouette cutting before so of course I had to do one for her!

Here is a map showing just how many fun things were made available by Build-A-Better-Boyertown, who certainly know how to show off their unique and historic small town. I was even able to shop before I started cutting silhouettes, and was able to get my husband's Valentine gift next door. 

Now for some silhouettes... 

Most were of couples, of course! So I cut them as a joined heart-shape.

Thanks for having me, Boyertown! :-)

And happy Valentine's Day!

Silhouettes at an antique-car-museum fete!

Saturday afternoon's event was held on a brilliantly blue-sky-ed, crisp afternoon, and found me cutting silhouettes in period costume!

 

There were some amazing cars there, I liked the really old ones:

Even KooKoo the Cartoon Clown had a noteworthy vehicle--which left bubbles trailing in its wake!!!

Thanks for having me for a fabulous day of silhouetting, Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles!!!

Silhouettes at '70's-themed pre-concert party on campus...

 ...to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Reading Area Community College!

 The concert was by Three Dog Night, and the venue was the Miller Center for the Arts, of which I was sitting just outside, along with other fun activities.

This gentlemen's profile was cut while "Baba O'Reilly" by the Who was playing, crazy juxtaposition!

The guests seemed to mostly be of an age to have attended RACC in its early days, it was VERY fun for me to gracefully capture their personalities in their silhouettes. 

Thanks to RACC for having me! I remember drawing caricatures at events there in the very early stages of my career. :-D

Luckily, the rain held off until AFTER this event, yay!

Silhouettes at Afternoon Wedding Reception!

My cherished assistant-photographer-chauffeur husband accompanied me to this event, so I have some good photos from different vantage points. :-)

Here's a time-lapse of my set-up process:

...and here's the results!

My presence there was a surprise to the bride and groom;  the bride's brother had booked me for his own wedding a few years back. Here they are with their silhouettes, and their entrance.

My hubby got some nice action photos of me at work:

Another action video:

I pasted the duplicate silhouettes into a book for the bride and groom, here are a few of the pages:

Another successful silhouette artist event on the books (literally!)

On the way home, we witnessed a  beautiful sunset.

Bridgerton-themed Silhouettes on the waterfront!

On a gorgeous spring day in Maryland, I teamed up with the only other silhouette artist I know, to cut Bridgerton-themed silhouettes for guests of a special event, sponsored by Havre de Grace Living. This little girl was one of the volunteers, and my first silhouette of the afternoon!

Havre de Grace is at the confluence of the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay. 

My colleague Ted Stuessy, of Shadow Cuts, sat with me, near the historic lighthouse. :-) 

Here we are, set up and ready to snip! I wore my Edwardian dress and hat. 

Here's Ted in action! We soon were both busy though, and I wasn't able to get a photo of one of his finished silhouettes. 

Folks came in all sorts of period costumes!

Here's some of my work. The silhouettes all had HdGLiving's logo printed on the lower left. 

When I got home, I photographed some of my offcuts. You can see how much fun I had cutting the intricate and interesting headwear!

Thanks to Gigsalad for putting us in touch with HdGLiving! 

Here is the review I received, thank you so much!

Emily was one of two silhouette artists at a themed charity event and she was phenomenal. Not only did the guests rave about her, but she was so easy to work with. Flexible and a great communicator, will definitely hire again. Thank you!
