  • tip: stencil/mask storage

    Do as I say, not as I do.  Truth be told, I don't always put my stencils away.  I often toss them in a cardboard palette or a massive file folder.  Every once in a while I will set to the task of arranging into binders, according to style.  There is an alphabet binder, and one for fronds, one for patterns, some handcut, some commercial….

    Many stencils come packaged in clear envelopes or bags.  Why not add some easy DIY tabs and keep them stored in a three ring binder?  Supplies required:  binder, packing tape, 1/4" punch.  Done!  For stencils that don't come with packaging:  page protectors!

  • Using them…new stencils

    Thank you so much for the enthusiastic response to the new collection of stencils and stamps.  I thought I'd show you the prototype for a visual on the set of both stencil and mask you will receive on all but the Grasses and Noise sheets.  And here is a large canvas I made using them.  LOVE how thick they are, they work like a dream.  PRE-ORDER special offer for stencils and stamps good through Monday evening, December 3, then they will be produced and shipped.  My guy said turn-around will be quick, yay! 

    Visit GREENPEPPERPRESS.com for the ordering info. if you're interested.

  • Calling all Frond Lovers – new stencils & stamps

    I've been working on this for a while and I'm really excited to finally share this with you.  I'm introducing a new line of stamps, stencils, and stencil/mask sets.  Take a look – you get both the innie and the outie – the stencil and the mask with these sets.  How cool is that?  I've been teaching this technique and advocating that you utilize both the stencil and mask when you apply images.  I also love having images in multiple scales which is why you can get the fronds in stamps too.  After many requests following my Frond Chronicles workshop (which seems to be the most popular 'pin' of my work) I was swayed to launch this collection.  It is available for pre-order this week as I await the inventory, then the prices will adjust.  Visit GREENPEPPERPRESS.com to order.

    Some digital samples…I like messing around with shapes, color, layering and composition digitally so I know they work prior to production.
