Description:

I'm really stoked on stencils and spraypaint right now, so I decided to make a swap for it! The only requirements for this swap are that you send someone a postcard and that it has something you've stenciled on it, but here's my process to give you some ideas. It's super easy and super DIY :D

  1. I cut my stencil out of a piece of whatever random food box I pulled from the recycling.

  2. I carefully tape it to my PC, which is likely also cut from a food box, because I'm a friend of the trees. I usually just make a bunch of little magic tape rolls and arrange them wherever i can so that they stick the stencil to the PC without blocking where the paint's supposed to go.

  3. I pray to Odin and ask him to hold up on the rain for 10 minutes, then grab my spraypaint and go go go!

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! :D

Any questions?

I'm watching this because I do love stencil work & would also love to see some stencil fun in the Illustrating & Printmaking Artists group. ;)

Whoah, that's clever. I'm watching until I've tried it and if it turns out OK, I'll join.....I'm thinking a Banksy inspired graffitti type stencil...... Like the recycling :-)

Ick! Thanks for the reminder, I almost forgot to sign up for it, even with it on my watch list!
