Exactly a year ago I introduced you to our butterfly circlet stencil called Moths around a Flame (£44.00)
I have just completed a ceiling using a larger version of it.
Surrounding the large circle of butterflies and moths are new, individual stencils (£15.00 for a set of 7). I am finding all sorts of uses for them, they are very handy. The metallic paints are suitable for fabric too.
The smaller size circlet has two new stencil designs that match it and both create a dense repeating pattern.
The butterfly images are the same on both stencils but one of them has many more than the other. (£13.00 and £38.00). Whilst the design students were working with me their first job was to test the new butterfly stencils to make sure that all fit together properly....they do.
The repeating stencils and the set of individual motifs provide a wonderful background shape to overlay a stencilled pattern onto. I have demonstrated this technique on other posts. It is becoming a bit of a trade mark.
These are gift boxes, the designs are a good size for cards too.
I spent a few hours filling images of our queen's head with colour, pattern and pretty things. Butterflies was a good place to start and I stencilled them onto bags and cushions for our shop. The Blue Queen with Butterflies bag sold to the first customer that saw it. I'll be making more.
There's a more colourful version too.
Arianna Interiors feaured a butterfly hot trend alert on her blog and I enjoyed the post and the pictures so much that I sent her a message to tell her. I had a lovely reply and she added my Butterfly Queen cushion to her feature. All the new stencils can be ordered from Designinspiration, just email me for details. I can accept PayPal if ordering from my blog. There are many other (different) butterfly stencils to choose from at Stencil-library use the site search to find them all.
Helen.
HI, I am searching for a butterflies stencil on your website but cannot find it under the butterflies. Could you help me to find it please?

Hi Katya, I just did a search on www.stencil-library.co.uk and it gives a choice of 22 different stencils that feature butterflies. There are 19 butterfly stencils available on the stencil-library.com site BUT the stencils that appear in the photos above are very new and at the moment are offered to readers of this blog only so they are not on either site. If you want to know more or order any of them email me helen@stencil-library.com and I can make them for you.
I hope that this helps.

OK, a few people are asking me where to find the stencils so I apologise that I was not clear in the post. I'll do an edit.
At present the butterfly stencils in the photos can only be ordered by emailing or phoning me. All contact details including international dialing is here http://www.stencil-library.co.uk/stencils/contact.html
Here is a link to the metallic paints http://www.stencil-library.co.uk/accessories-stencils/index.html
They are rather lovely. You can order them from me too along with your stencil order. Still not clear? Ask me and I will try to help.
