I have another project to show you in the Larger Than Life series of stencils. I started the wall with Ornamental Grass in the large size. I used paint and an extra large stencil brush. I stencilled the ferny shapes first then some of the fluffy cone shaped ones. I added leaves wherever I thought they might look nice. The whole process was very speedy.
A second row of foliage was applied using the Grass in the small size.
I applied it to the front of this painted utility cabinet then finished up by stencilling a toning floor with DM6 . DM6 is is a set of stencils and masks from The Big & Bold range. It includes these chequer board type squares. I am experimenting with cutting a thicker stencil film at the moment because I think some of the Larger Than Life range will suit a heavy application of plaster or gel through them. The heavy stencils would be in addition to and not instead of our usual film. Is this something you would use? Let me know. Helen.


I would use it for sure. Would it give a relief effect if I used plaster?

Yes Di, it would. There are some fine plasters that go on like soft butter and are slightly raised, some of these can be polished to a gloss. Others are heavier rougher plaster and give more texture.
