Outlines and Silhouettes

are working, place a piece of glass, wood, or cardboard under- 

 neath the art board before using the razor blade. 



Before you browse through the materials in the art shop, 

 have an idea of what vou are looking for. First, select the 

 wall on which the silhouette mount is to be displayed. Is it 

 pine paneled? If so, is the paneling stained, or is it a natural 

 finish? Is the wall blue— light blue or dark blue?

Color Combinations 



It is an interesting job to select the colors of your trophy 

 silhouette so that they will not clash with the color of the walls 

 and the room decor. If the colors are not right, your silhouette 

 mount will look terrible. But if they are correct your trophy 

 will not only look great, but it will also be an important con- 

 tribution to the color scheme of the room. If you are a boy, 

 get your mother and dad in on the project. If you are a hus- 

 band, consult your wife for her ideas on color combinations. 

 You will be amazed how much easier it is to get your trophy 

 on the wall if you ask her advice on colors!
