Hello, I create beautiful hand-cut Silhouettes created for your guests in minutes! Suitable for any theme, silhouettes are a gift your guests will appreciate for a lifetime. I travel extensively across the country for events. Sweet Silhouette is my company name. It takes approximately 1-2 minutes to cut a silhouette which will then be mounted on a decorative 5x7" board and inserted into a plastic sleeve. Also available is a Guest Book where duplicate silhouettes cut at the same time can be mounted. Guests are encouraged to write underneath their silhouettes. Although you requested a caricaturist, I hope you will consider having a Silhouettes as a unique and elegant alternative. Thank You!
Everyone was very happy to have a take-home souvenir of our wedding.
As the bride, I was very happy to have a memento of those who attended our
wedding. We are in our 80's. She was special!!
Response from Sweet Silhouette:
It was my pleasure! :)
Varin was such a wonderful addition to our 125th celebration at the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Throughout both Saturday and Sunday, she offered her talent to so many guest who left with the biggest smiles on their faces and a keepsake they will have for years. We would most definitely book her again!
Response from Sweet Silhouette:

We hired Sweet Silhouette for my son's 1st birthday party, and it was a hit! Everyone was amazed at Varin's talent, and loved the take home silhouette favor. Would highly recommend her for your next event!
Price Range: $200
Varin is a lifelong artist. As an exhibit designer for museums she came in contact with many historical art forms, including silhouettes. She was captivated with the timeless and endearing qualities that a silhouette can possess, and began to cut them herself, never dreaming that this could be her life's calling. Now, many years later, Varin is a well-known participant at public and private events across the country. She has cut silhouettes for Pixar Studios, Nike, Stitch Fix and at the Hollywood opening for Cinderella!
A happy client says it best:
"Everyone loved the silhouettes! What a fabulous gift from the bride and groom, something that will last forever. Many of the guests shared with others and created quite a conversation about their profiles. Having Varin at our son’s wedding reception was a memorable extra that was a wonderful surprise for our guests. Thank you Varin. I framed all of the family silhouettes and have them on my mantle. Gorgeous!!!!"

Silhouettes harken from a time before cameras. Only the wealthy could afford an oil painting and so silhouettes were know as a "Poor Man's Portrait." They were quick, and were often the only many could keep an image of their loved ones.
The antique and vintage silhouettes are a powerful source of inspiration and technique, and Varin collects them.
