6" x 6" Stencil BAMBOO WALL (and 6" x 6" TRIVET C)

One of my pet-favorite stencils is 6" x 6" Bamboo Wall.  It's one of the stencils in my Asian series, which includes Tiger Lily, Bamboo Wall Stencil, Bonsai Tree Stencil, Two Fans Stencil and Ginkgo 6 Stencil.

Bamboo Wall was based on an ink drawing that I did, using a Chinese calligraphic brush.  

Below are some prints I made with my sponge brayer, loaded with heavy-body acrylic paint:

Above:  I used the brayer with brown paint to make the lower print.  Then I flipped the still-wet stencil over and pressed it to the old map right above the first print -- using the "inked" stencil as if it were a rubber stamp.

 

Above:  This print was created with Bamboo Wall, over an earlier print that I'd made with another 6" x 6" stencil, Trivet C.

Trivet C stencil, by itself, looks like this:

Above:  This is an example of how I load a sponge brayer with heavy-body acrylic paint.  For me, this method works better than a pouncing tool.  But it did take me some time to learn the right "touch" -- to add just enough paint thru the stencil, and to avoid adding too much.
