Announcement    Mother’s Day Deadline: all photos and orders must be in by Saturday May the 4th at noon, EST.

My name is Kathryn Flocken, and I have been making freehand-cut Silhouette portraits and paper cuttings in the traditional way since 1989. I currently cut Silhouettes on one of Orlando's premier theme park properties, and also work out of my home studio as well as tour the country cutting Silhouettes at weddings and special events of all kinds. I have also cut Silhouettes at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., and at the homes of two former US Presidents.

⭐️✂️ SILHOUETTE PORTRAIT PURCHASES:
Please send clear, at eye level, perfect right profiles to me in an Etsy message. Up to three photos at a time will attach per message. Be sure to show all the head, all the hair, no smiles. If you are unsure of a photo, please send a few, and I will work from the best one! I will confirm by Etsy message, when I receive your order and the photos.

⭐️✂️ FRAME PURCHASES:
Please be sure to read the listing description thoroughly BEFORE any purchase, and review your Etsy receipt once again AFTER your purchase, to ensure the size of the frame and material of the frame are precisely what you were looking for.

🖼Frame Material:
The main material each frame is constructed of is shown in the title of the listing itself, in the product description, and in the materials section. That way you will know EXACTLY what sort of frame to be expecting in your package! (wood, plastic, MDF, etc). Maximum transparency is the goal, along with sending you the highest quality frames possible!

🖼Frame Size:
A 5x7” frame, means the “window opening” will fit a 5x7” image.
An 8x10” frame, means the “window opening” will fit an 8x10” image, and so on.


If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, I’m happy to assist you!

Thank you for looking around! I will treat your Silhouette order with loving care.

Kathryn


SHIPPING:
Due to heavy work and touring schedule across the USA, your order may take up to 2 weeks to ship out.

RUSH ORDERS:
NO MATTER WHAT THE ITEMS MIGHT BE...message me FIRST and check to see if I can accommodate your needs. Rush orders are accepted only with my pre approval, and the receipt of additional shipping funds.


✂️ ✂️ ✂️ The artwork you will be receiving is all created from scratch, freehand cut with scissors by me. As such, there is not a “proof” that can be viewed before it is done. If you would like to see a picture of your portrait order after it is cut and before it is mounted, please let me know
🚨when you order 🚨
and I will happily accommodate by sending a photo. Changes to a piece already in progress/finished may result in an additional charge.
