Who says a silhouette has to be stitched in black only?
That's the wonderful thing of creating your own pieces, you can choose the colors you want and the possibilities are endless. Use any solid color floss on any fabric. Or why not try using a variegated floss.
I stitched my model on one of my 14 count hand-dyed lavender aida fabrics using DMC #550. The 2nd picture shows how it was turned into a pillow by my friend Helga over at http://www.RevivalVintageDesign.etsy.com
When stitched on 14 ct fabric, the stitched area measures 6"w x 8-3/8"h
This would also make a great pattern for a beginner stitcher given the fact it is stitched in one color with all full stitches.

I'm an avid stitcher of 35 years, with cross stitch being my main technique of choice.
I enjoy all types of pieces, but really love the ones that have bold, vibrant colors.
All the pictures you see of my patterns are my actual stitched pieces. This way you won't have to guess what your pattern should look like once it's finished. I never like to release a pattern until I've stitched it ...
