Hi, I am Welles Tan, welcome to my blog. I had been a caricaturist for events and parties since 1990. Silhouette Cutting also called Portrait Silhouette Cutting,Profile Cutting or Shadow Cutting. It is an art that using scissors to cut out a shape of a person’s side profile using dark color paper. You can frame it like a photo, put on the desk as a decoration for memories. Within an hour, it should be about 40 - 50 cutting of A6 size to be produced, this is a professional artist's speed.

Long and short forehead
During my face reading session in the event, one of common question was: “Do I having a big success in my career?” In Chinese face reading, from the basic stage, the higher of the forehead (which the starting point of your hair grows), and the smarter you are. How well grow of your forehead, represent how well your knowledge, studies, educations, and how famous you are. People who having long forehead, usually more analytic, could be more open-minded; or course it still need to compare with other portion of their face like whether the eyes spiritual is good or not and etc....The example of long forehead was Mr.Bill Gate, Hong Kong richest man Mr.Lee Kah Seng…agent Smith which in “The Matrix” movie.
Short forehead, based on theory, was much more struggling live then people having long forehead. Either the fore head too short, or either the starting point of the hair grow too low, it reduced the basic luck in their earlier age from age 14-30. These group of people was more conservative, might be practical, stubborn, unable to accept new idea fast, hence their career development was much slower then other range of people. By theory, longer or high fore head is much desirable, it represent they are getting success earlier. Low or short forehead as long as not too short or too low, if they having good eyes spiritual, they could be getting succeed in their career.

A Scene in MRT Train
I was taking the MRT train back home yesterday about 5p.m. the train was a bit crowded. I usually stand inside the train and read my book during the travel. I realized that’s a men about 30+ old, standing in the train as well, reading newspaper, he is about 2 meters from my view and I found his face shape is a little different, which is having almost no chin from his side view. According Chinese face reading rules, those people without chin or having bad chins, they will be very poor in their retired age. I looks at his face, he looks friendly and nice person, do not understand why having such bad face shape.At this moment, the train reached Novena station, there was a pregnant lady step in the train, which having a big stomach and looks like almost wanted to give birth. She looks around, nobody willing to give a seat to her! These is very common thing that happen in Singapore’s train, after the government put in lots effort to educate the public, seems not workable.
I saw the mentioned “no chin men” realized this pregnant lady standing in the train, he quickly ask the men who sitting on the “special seat” to give the seat to that pregnant lady! Wow! He is a real nice guy!
Now I observe again on his face, ah! I discovered that below his jaw, near the upper neck part having a little bit “baby fat” meat, which we called “double chin”.According Chinese face reading rules, those people’s face shape without chin, but having “baby fat meat” at their upper neck, will be represent luck and wealth still follow them. I thing this men must be always do good things so his face shape changed gradually to a better luck side.
Of course, his “baby fat meat” had been grow gradually within long time, not after he help this pregnant lady ask for a seat. Lol!
