some cool new stencils
I saw these and thought oh how cool they are. I like stencils that are a bit more abstract and these fit the bill.

She also hassomething called 'Ice Tar' which i didn't fully read all the info on but it looked interesting.
I have been collecting door mats and table mats that are holey and have all sorts of patterns and i am always looking for weird things toi make patterns with.

great stencils,a bit dear but they can be done if you have time and patience. I do cut mine into thin foamsheets which i buy at the dollar shop in town and they do have a 3D effect as well.I have done about 20 small stencils in no time as it cuts like butter in one evening and it's lots of fun,it can be reused as it gets soaked,washed,dried but not ironed...

Mo, I have been using hand-carved stamps from a rubber carving material that are working out quite well. You can either ink them up and use in the expected way, or use them to texture encaustics, which is what I have been doing. I press them firmly into the warm wax (I'm still working on technique as if the wax is too liquid it makes a mess, but if it's too cool you can't get a good impression) then use the inlay-fill/scrape back method to highlight the image. The carving rubber is quite inexpensive and this way you are in total control of your imagery. There is lots of info on stamp carving online if you Google.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
