Here's a simple silhouette I made out of black duvatine. In Hello, Dolly! the titular character mentions her interest in creating silhouettes of celebrities like Ada Rehan and pulls out an example to wow the stage.
The silhouette is backed with muslin using fabric glue. For easy access, the ends wrap around two dowels so that the piece is stored conveniently rolled up in the main character's purse, ready to be displayed.
Preliminary sketching with white china marker. Below is the photo of Ada Rehan I referenced.
