Stencil on Tin

 This shows the finished product down to the bare beginning.  I am not sure if this is done so it is hanging where I can see it throughout my day.  The very bottom photo shows how it began....a garage sale find from last summer.  I then used a Purple shade and Birch White to get this mottled background effect.  The stencils are all available in my Etsy Store.  I had some copper tape I bought ions ago from a Canadian store and used it around as a border edging.  I want to add some more glitter.....have black that might look nice.  We'll see.  So check back for any final changes I might make.  The medallion and the dragonfly  was done using silver, copper and gold metallic paste.  Also used was the black paste.








NEW STENCIL DESIGN TRIBAL MEN





I just received the stencil Tribal Men (in my Etsy shoppe for sale)
 and had to take time to give it a whirl ... as I just loved it and a lot of ideas were spinning around in my head.

I grabbed (photo #2) a stretched canvas that I had poured on that wasn't very pretty and decided to see what the stencil might look on it.

Looking around I decided to use Copper and Black Modeling Paste and some other stencils I had on hand and photo #3 is where I left off; but I am not done....much more to happen so check back...
(Modeling pastes should be here soon and for sale in my shop).


Last night I was able to go down and work a little more on this ...  I guess maybe mixed media canvas.  Photo follows...but it is still not done.  Maribou feather...love the whispy texture.  Twigs, Goldstone gemstone, steampunk button, a wooden bamboo bead,  and manzanita sticks.  I have no idea what will be next.
