Silhouette turning

Years back I saw somewhere a person took their facial silhouette shape and turned it onto a pen blank. It obviously caught my eye but I have not been able to locate it and have an advanced student needing an unusual turning project. So, anyone have any idea of what I am trying to describe? any places you can point me to find an example to show him? Thanks in advance and if I haven't fully described what I am requesting feel free to ask me for more information.

I found it. Wasn't a pen blank but will work. Here is what I was thinking of: https://www.pinterest.com/svetlana3k/turning-ideas/

If you have suggestions, they would be appreciated.

Ted beat me to it. Unless the pen was really fat, I can't picture there being enough meat in the blank. I have seen candlesticks done in silhouette form, though.
