Rust Designs

Silhouettes are timeless. The profile of a person is instantly recognizable...especially a child whom you watched over in a crib as a baby to check, double-check and triple-check they were breathing. That's why I LOVE these silhouette plates from Rust Designs.

These would a great collection to start giving to yourself on your child's first birthday (let's face it, one-year old children do not need gifts...the party is much more for us parents). And then the collection can grow with each child. Or you could have one made as each child begins kindergarten when their face is a bit more matured and defined...and then you can look at the profile that was by your side for five years and is now in a classroom. (Please excuse me, my firstborn begins school this fall and I'm already a bit sentimental.)

Each ceramic plate measures 10.4 inches and requires a digital photograph of the subject in a profile position. You will receive a PDF of the silhouette design for your approval prior to the plate being finalized.

The silhouette plates are available at rustdesigns.com for $110.00. I know it's quite a lot for one plate, but it's a memory, a keepsake, and an heirloom. To me, that's priceless!
