I love when the tyvek shapes I cut for stencils/masks become so mucked up with paint that I have to use as a collage element and apply them directly on the page. You can see this one was used as a tool on pages 9 & 10. And the leftover was placed to the cover. If I want another one I can easily make one so why not use it?

Before there was a SGP dots stencil, I used a perforated metal tray meant for grilling to get these lines of circles. I love the random raggedy edge of the burned cardboard. It's a tricky thing to do - wave a lit match along the side and see what happens. Be standing over a sink. Seriously. Sometimes the flame shoots up through the corrugated groove and you don't know where it will surface. Do this BEFORE the spray paint or you might be in peril.

Unplanned….the next page spread in the TSJ shows up on a RubyTuesday :) Haven't had time to work in my RTJ as I'm using my studio time to get ready for my workshop at Valley Ridge. OMG, it's just over two weeks away….can't wait!

Thanks again for all the terrific feedback about the new stencils. I'm such of a fan of Mary Beth's, and it is a thrill to be on her design team for Stencil Girl Products. Your enthusiasm has made it even more fun! I can't wait for you to see the rest of the collection 🙂
