Stencil It. The out takes. Part 1. Damask Stencil.

'Stencil It' should be in the shops later this month and I am looking forward to receiving my author copies.  

This is one of the projects that did not make the final edit of the book. It shows a matt painted wall with  a damask pattern stencilled onto it. I used acrylic gloss varnish and a stencil brush to apply the pattern. 

The stencil does appear in the Stencil It book but not with these particular projects. The publishers rejected some very good work because we had made more than was needed (Book 2 perhaps ?)

This denim jacket was decorated with the damask stencil from Stencil It.  Student Ashleigh Tate used silver fabric paint then embellished the stencilling with Swarovski Crystal.

Another student Harriet Armstrong made these two cushions.  She stencilled the damask pattern with iridescent paint onto velvet. The stencil to create all of these projects is given in the Stencil It book . There are fourteen other laminated card stencils bound amongst it's pages. Mylar film versions of the stencils can be ordered from The Stencil Library. Over the next couple of weeks I will show you some more of the stencil projects that did not reach the final pages. We hope that you like the projects that were included in Stencil It even more than these...but we all have to wait until publication to see those.  

Helen.

Loving the oriental design stencils, they are beautiful! I have a design vey similar tattooed on my whole back! I find them very inspiring and am looking for some stencils in this design to take this passion over into my hairdressing designs for an avante garde competition I am entering this winter! Very beautiful indeed xx

Lisa, Reading about your tattoo reminded me that I once had a large dragon stencilled over my back for a tv programme. It was stencilled with henna paste and left overnight in the hope of acheiving a good strong image. Sadly it looked like I'd rolled in mud and hadn't washed for months!
Good luck with your competition. Stencilled hair can look great
