Here are two luxurious examples of pattern stencilled onto velvet.
In both pictures just four colours have been used to maximum effect.
Stencils used in the second picture are OTT38 in the centre, the two borders are OTT5 and OTT7
and the colours: Hookers Green, Alizarine Crimson, and Metallic Bronze and True Met Gold
The top picture shows Phthalocyanine Blue instead of the Alizarine Crimson. The stencils are OTT36 in the centre and OTT7 and IN10 are the border stencils
Both panels are samples from classes taught at The Stencil Library. Both panels measure aprox 48 inches by 48 (122cms) Big enough for a floor cushion, a throw or small table cover. They were stencilled onto upholstery velvet from Factory Fabrics but look equally fabulous when stencilled onto painted surfaces such as walls and furniture.

These are gorgeous!! I still love the one I did in a class many many years ago!! I have done several others as table runners.

Hi Karen, I am thrilled to know that you put your stencil class fee to excellent use. I heard that quite a some of my student's stencilled velvet pieces got auctioned as fund raisers which is a good result too.
