shadow letters

For my father's birthday I wanted to spell his name out(either Donald or Dad)with the shadows of objects. I know its been done before, but I am having a hard time "seeing" the letters. Does anyone have any ideas to help me see them or knows what objects make clear and readible letters?? Please respond.

Well, it might be easiest to look for the shadows of big neon signs containing the letters you need. You might also consider to shoot the letters directly, to assemble an interesting collection. You might also consider creating the shadows with your hands/fingers, like children do.
