Stencils

One of the craft projects put out for the Art party was fairly easy and somewhat stress free for those less comfortable with designing or drawing .

Stencils!! Some people make their own but there’s a huge variety available online or at craft shops. I specifically looked for Mexican and Fall designs. There is also less sticky painter tape, which is how I adhere the stencils .
There’s all the craft paint, boxed and also some sponge brushes.
Here I first taped the stencil to black canvas and painted a blue background first.
Let background dry and then replace the stencil on canvas.
Now, tape stencil back into place and paint the stencil openings.
Pretty easy
A few more for my 2023 altar.
Sorry, the photo is a bit dark but here’s some results.

I used a few of the smaller stencils on a papier mache masks.

Hey There! My book "Artful Embroidery On Canvas!", was published in 2020. Thanks for checking out my blog! It's a mix of projects, reports on creativity and whatever else I may have to say. I'm a San Francisco Bay Area-based mixed medium artist who is especially interested in embroidery, installations and all that’ll art for art’s sake! UPDATE: My embroidery has been on hiatus since February 2023 which was when my husband started to feel ill. Sadly, he passed in March 2023 and so, the blog veered into a more personal direction. I'm ending my art hiatus later this September. Life has become a bit complicated but I will be back to blogging more on art and still describing my daily life as an artist, a woman, a mother, a daughter and struggling widow. Thanks for reading along.
