ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ABOUT THE BOOK

INTRODUCTION:

HOW THIS BOOK CAME ABOUT

I was watching a craft demonstration on Create and Craft TV, and I saw an expert using a butterfly rubberstamp. The design was so beautiful, but I didn’t have the money to buy the rubberstamp. I felt sad, but just then, from within me, I heard these words: You have a stencil like that – you can use it. All you need to do is trace it with a pen and watercolour it. This didn’t make me instantly happy because I wanted the rubberstamp, not to trace some stencil’s design. Nevertheless, I tried the tracing technique, and more and more techniques just started pouring in. I got a pen and started jotting them down. I separated the uses of a stencil from techniques involved in stencilling.

Since I do different types of crafts, I decided to implement these techniques and uses in as many of them as I could. That singular idea birthed this book.

The stencil used in this book is the copyright of Plaid Enterprises, Inc. Their permission was sought to use their stencil in demonstrating the project, techniques, and uses of a stencil in various crafts. You too can make your own stencil or ask permission from the stencil’s manufacturer before digitizing or using their stencil for commercial purposes.

Happy crafting!
