Late last night I stencilled two pinboards.
I was on a deadline to finish one for our village's Portrait of The Queen Exhibition. I thought I would make my portrait useful.
by using the pins to hang things from. I tried two similar styles,
one with a border and contrast frame
and the other without. I liked the industrial look of the plain frame but friends preferred the contrast so I repainted it, what is your verdict?
They are prototypes for a new collection created for For Queen and Corgi.
They started life as a plain cork pin board from IKEA. Very soon I shall post a project on stencilling an IKEA pinboard. I used our SIB14-S Dogs stencil from the Stencil It book. Tomorrow I will visit the Portrait of The Queen exhibition in Stocksfield. I'm dying to show you what my For Queen and Corgi partner Sabina painted.
For Queen and Corgi now has a Facebook page, we have had some lovely press recently and you will find it there.
Til then,
Helen.
You are just brilliant, you know that, don't you?? I love this as a board to hang jewelry.

I can't believe these are stencils. You guys are so clever.

Thank you both. I am off to see the Queen Portrait exhibition this evening, I hope that the picture hanging team realise what is supposed to happen with the necklaces. After that I intend to watch The Eurovision song contest..for the first time in years!
