I want to show you something simple you can do with your stencils that you might not be doing. I love to play with stencils and can never bear to waste ink or paint so after I ink the stencil I flip it over and print the inked side too. Below shows the process with one of my stencils.
While I adore source like Stencil Girls for stencils, I often cut my own from my own drawings. It is super simple. I place the drawing UNDER a piece of glass; tape the stencil plastic down on TOP of the glass; then I "trace" the drawing showing through the glass with the tip of the stencil cutter. See
( http://www.pjstencils.com/index.html) for an excellent burner and inexpensive lightweight plastic).
In this case I had leftover red and some green acrylic paint from a project. I placed the stencil on a paper bag I had handy and inked the stencil to see what would happen...surprising colors...but I really like it. Next....
