But today, I want to introduce you to a new product by Artistcellar! They make awesome stencils (hem hem, I designed some too for them, go check them out here for UK/ Europe, here for US/ Canada/ S.America, here for Australia/ Asia/ Africa) and they've come out with a really nifty new stencil idea: yes yes, they are: POCKET STENCILS! :) So cute, so handy, so versatile! :D Easy to take out and about for your journal, super duper fun! :)
I made this beautiful Chakra Girl with some of the Chakra Stencils:
and filmed it too, wahay! :) Wanna watch the making of? :) Go for it->

Here are some more close ups (took these photos in a dark room late at night, so not the best ones, the contrast isn't as high as you see in some of these pics, but you get the gist! :))
I LOVE using modelling paste through the stencils and get beautiful textures :)

This is so beautiful I just love your chakra girl. I would have to say the chakra stencils stand out to me the most. A couple of years ago I was learning about meditation with chakras. I have stopped doing this practice and know I need to find time to start back up, because it calmed me down so much. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful art.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these...would be prefect for the 3 x 5 gelli....tfc
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteI think the chakras ones are amazing. They offer so much potential to play in creating a focus or using them for backgrounds.
These pocket stencils are so cool. Perfect for working in small areas or carrying to use on the go. The Chakra set does speak to me the most--the patterns are timeless.
ReplyDeleteI love the Chakra set, I am learning about Chakras and would love these to use in my artwork. I love how them look with the modelling paste.
ReplyDeleteI love your girl and the pocket stencils! I too am learning about chakras. I love the Chakra set the most.

ReplyDeleteCreate words and virtue words are my favorite, just love words, don't know why! Lissag123@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteI love the Chakra stencils! They are my favorite because they are so unique and different. I would use them to create backgrounds, decorate clothing, and so much more! I also love the word stencils because I hate my handwriting. Tam this is a great art piece! Thanks for hosting another awesome giveaway!

Beautiful Chakra girl, thanks for sharing! My personal faves are the Chakra stencils. What a lovely reminder to use in my journals ~ I so often get impatient and forget to stop and think and pay attention, and then forget that I can keep myself open and clear :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this! Also thank you so much for the chance to win the stencils! I would love to win all of them, but my favourites are probably the chakra ones :)
