FANTASIA -- Stencil Beauty!

Sometimes, after an art project, I find the stencil so beautiful that I want to keep it just the way it is -- never to use it again for art-making, because I can always buy another one!  That's happened again with my new stencil Fantasia, now coated with orange and purple acrylic paint: 

Unfortunately these two shots don't do the purple area (along the bottom edge) justice.  In real life, they are an attractive counterpart to the orange areas.

Eventually I will cut up this stencil to use its pieces as collage elements.
