stenciling

.

I gave this to my parents when I visited them last weekend.





One of the things I am really enjoying about the whole stenciling thing is the layers.

You can really see the different layers, even when your top layer is black........

I started this one indoors with some interior latex and a stenciling brush. I put on the fuchsia flowers at the bottom.

I had stenciled a yellow alphabet on another piece of paper, and I printed this piece with the still-painty stencil.

Then I sprayed the big circles with orange spray ink.

I sprayed the small white circles, and then went back over the big circles with just a touch more orange ink.

Then the black silhouette of Moi in my tasteful art fair hat.

You can see in this closeup that the layers can be seen right through the black.



Another thing that is interesting about this process is that the layers look different in different lights. As you walk by, it looks different from different angles.....

If you click to embiggen the first pic, you'll see that the flowers are visible right through my legs...........
