A silhouette is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all. The silhouette differs from an outline, which depicts the edge of an object in a linear form, while a silhouette appears as a solid shape. Silhouette images may be created in any visual artistic media, but was first used to describe pieces of cut paper, which were then stuck to a backing in a contrasting colour, and often framed.
Cutting portraits, generally in profile, from black card became popular in the mid-18th century, though the term silhouette was seldom used until the early decades of the 19th century, and the tradition has continued under this name into the 21st century. They represented a cheap but effective alternative to the portrait miniature, and skilled specialist artists could cut a high-quality bust portrait, by far the most common style, in a matter of minutes, working purely by eye. Other artists, especially from about 1790, drew an outline on paper, then painted it in, which could be equally quick. The leading 18th-century English "profilist" in painting, John Miers, advertised "three minute sittings", and the cost might be as low as half a crown around 1800. Miers' superior products could be in grisaille, with delicate highlights added in gold or yellow, and some examples might be painted on various backings, including gesso, glass or ivory. The size was normally small, with many designed to fit into a locket, but otherwise a bust some 3 to 5 inches high was typical, with half- or full-length portraits proportionately larger.

Silhouettes - Of Monsters and Men (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe for more! :) xoxo (LYRICS) It's hard letting go, I'm finally at peace, but it feels wrong, Slow I'm getting up, My hands and feet are weaker than before. And you are folded on the bed Where I rest my head, There's nothing I can see, Darkness becomes me. But I'm already there, I'm already there, Wherever there is you, I will be there too There's nothing that I'd take back, But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret. Cause when I sing, you shout, I breathe out loud, You bleed, we crawl like animals, But when it's over, I'm still awake A thousand silhouettes dancing on my chest, No matter where I sleep, you are haunting me But I'm already there, I'm already there. Wherever there is...

Silhouette..
Took a walk and passed your house late last night,
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight.
From within the dim light cast, two silhouettes on the
shade,
Oh what a lovely couple they made.
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes,
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes. (etc.)
Put his arms around your waist, held you tight,
Kisses I could almost taste, in the night.
I wondered why I'm not a man, whose silhouettes on the
shade,
I couldn't hide those tears in my eyes.
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes,
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes. (etc.)
It's true.. oh yeah.
Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore,
Let me in or else I'll beat down your door.
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the
shade,
Said to my shock you're on the wrong block.
Ran down to your house with wings on my feet,
Loved you like I'd never loved you my sweet.
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the
shade,
All of our days two silhouettes on the shade.
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes,
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes. (etc.)
Must come to your house with wings, on my feet,
Loved you like I'd never loved, you my sweet.
Vowed that you and I would be, two silhouettes on the
shade,
All of our days, two silhouettes.
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes,
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes. (etc.)
