Please Mum, could I have some more...






I sleepie.... I have to go to work.... For you here is some more of my stencil art. We are learning how to cut sun rays. I also cut the California Republic stencil. I am learning how to use a stencil burner, and by accident how hot they are... OUCH!!! DO NOT TRY THAT @ HOME!!! Take my word for it.

Some will have more added to them but I wanted to post more... These are actually going to all be part of an art journal. I need to add a bit more stuff to time and a bit of journaling.

Have a great weekend!

It is what's inside that counts...





At last working on some stencil journal pages... I love exploring more color and making "mistakes"... enjoy. I took advantage of our 99 degree weather yesterday and did a LOT of spraying. The bottom two pics use my first hand cut stencil. Wonder who that character is?

Covers for me journal... Arg....


Ok It is 3:45 am and I am soon off to work! Here is a pic of my stenciled covers. You can't really see it clearly but the center picture on the left is North and South America and the right pic is the rest of the globe. I used stencils from Heidi Swapp, and http://smallstudio.typepad.com/, also a lace placemat for the border, and some punchella for the top pics. Then I applied repeated coats of Maya Mists and Glimmer Mists in copper, gold and red. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it. Have a great day.

My friend Mary Ann at dispatchfromla.typepad.com is teaching an online class all about stenciling! From using pre-made stencils to making and cutting your own. All in her marvelous style! I am so excited to start!
