Stencil Fun

Beginning a new stencil project for a Christmas gift if it turns out.

In the first picture I used:

Canvas Panel

Mars Black Paint

Stencil Brush

I swirled my brush with the paint so that I got a little bit of texture here and there.  I also noticed that when the light hits it you can see the swirl pattern.. Since my stencil is a circular design I thought I would try base coating in this manner.   

I am going to be using several different paints.  The shift paints in several different colors, silver paint, and  a medium green color.  I also have a Green Iridescent that I might incorporate.   The recipient is color blind but green is green for him...so I want to use several shades of green in the piece.  What he will see will be different from what I see......

Should be interesting.  I am not sure how it will end up.  Just know as the steps complete.  

The Stencil is by Stencil Girl and is a Mod Abstract Design.  

Stay tuned to see the progress.

 

Plastic Charger plate

 I found these plastic plates at Dollar Tree and then today I found additional different colors...but twice the price at Hobby Lobby.   I will wait till they come on sale ...  (but did pick up some pale, pretty pink ones they had on clearance for 79 cents so I picked up 6 to see what I might be able to do with this color.)   On this silver Charger plate I used a pinecone boughstencil I sell in my Etsy shop and some TCW Modeling paste.  I used a random mix of white and silver pastes which worked out to my satisfaction.  I then put a gloss finish spray on the piece and added glitter that sparkles different colors........that was just what was needed to send this over the edge.  I have done some with a snowman, Christmas Tree, snowflake, etc.  all stencils.  A glass plate on top and you have a beautiful serving tray, charger, or maybe even a wall hanging.   There is no way these look like plastic plates.
