Stencil It: 101 Ideas to Decorate Your Home |
| In Stencil It, Helen demonstrates some of these techniques and illustrates the stunning effects that can be achieved. Using a range of different paints, as well as crayon, metallic leaf, varnish, and plasterwork to create a textured finish, she presents a collection of diverse projects for every surface in your home. In themed chapters — “Flowers & Foliage,” “Figurative,” “Birds & Beasts,” and “Architectural & Decorative Details” — there are trailing leaves and falling blossoms, letters to spell out words and stars that can be applied in endless patterns, pretty butterflies and cute dogs, as well as signature decorative details from different periods and countries. |
| In addition to demonstrating the practical application of the stencils to a wide range of surfaces using different media, Helen illustrates how each stencil can be used in different configurations, sizes, or colorways to create dramatically different looks. There are 20 specially commissioned stencil templates included with the projects and all the other designs featured are available from www.stencil-library.com. |
