A doll of this invention includes a torso having an upper chest portion, a pair of arms, a pair of legs and a head, the chest includes a predetermined area of a predetermined shape, such as a heart which is constructed from translucent colored plastic material. A light is located within the cavity behind the heart to create a varying silhouette which corresponds in configuration to the doll upon the illumination of the light within the doll. The varying configuration of the silhouette is created by rotating an object between a lamp and the translucent colored plastic material, and this imparts a varying size and shape to the silhouette. In its broader aspects, the present invention is not limited to a doll, but instead to the concept of a rotating object(s) positioned between a translucent imaging surface and a source of illumination can be utilized in a variety of other environments and objects. For example, a "bunny" or a "rabbit" can be rotated within a hollow plastic "egg" having a transparent wall and an internal lamp which will silhouette the rabbit upon the translucent wall. Another example would be a jewelry box having a plastic hollow heart housing a rotatable "ballerina" which when backlit casts a "dancing" ballerina silhouette upon a translucent wall of the housing.
