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 means delineating a predetermined area of a predetermined shape, such as a heart which is constructed from translucent colored plastic material. Means within the cavity behind the heart create a varying silhouette which corresponds in configuration to the doll upon the illumination of a 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.
