ShadowShapes began during Covid, when my stepdad Bruce and I needed to think creatively about what we could make with the skills, tools and recycled plastic we already had.

We came up with silhouette ornaments for the empty spaces on door tops, picture frames and TVs. We started on Etsy with a set of Whippets, knowing nothing about selling online. They sold out that Christmas, giving us the confidence to keep going.

Since then, we’ve found it really fulfilling to create scenes that mean something to people - a dog they love, a place they call home or something they love doing.

There are five of us now, still designing and making our ornaments from recycled plastic here in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Thank you for stopping by :)
