bubbles and stones and words
Having been inspired by Kathy Kerstetter's art jounal using the stencils (you can see her beautiful work on the website in the Stylish Spencils section), I have been playing around with the stencils some more - this is the cosmic bubbles which I have sprayed onto khadi paper and then turned the stencil over and pressed down for the residue to imprint the negative. I like the result of this one very much. I used starburst sprays black orchid silver as I do and of course my fingers were pretty grubby looking when I went out to dinner with Val and Jim last night.
Then I sprayed onto some Stonehaven silk noil - like the effect. The fabric is actually black in the middle but the sprays leave a lovely mica effect.
Thanks to Maggie, I had to buy the apps Type drawing for my i-phone - lots of fun - I could play with this whilst hanging around at airports and other dreary places!

I bought the app that Maggie had too. It is very cool!
Love your stencilled samples Dale. I have just bought a similar one but haven't played with it yet. All REAL artist's go out to dinner with grubby fingers!
My fingers are always interesting too-don't like gloves. They seem to get in the way of creating. The stencils are nice.
