Progress on the Folding Screen

July 25, 2011 //  by Paint It!

Blocking girls

Next, I begin to block out large sections of color on my girls. I am using all metallic paints for this. Some areas will have foil over them, others will not.

More blocking

Stenciling bottom

Remember the bottom portion of the panels that I foiled? I used this Scallop stencil from Royal Design Studio, which I absolutely love. This is the perfect design to embellish with gems, which I will do later! I used a metallic gold to stencil.

My very dirty stencil I added some gold foil to highlight some of the clothing on my girls and then used some stencils to add some pattern. This stencil is just a piece of a stencil I had left over from when I did those yellow and white stair treads. It’s quite dirty, and should be cleaned, but since I was only using it in a small area, I thought I’d give it a shot and use again, rather than spend time trying to clean this and possibly tear it.

Should be cleaned

A close up of my very dirty stencil from Royal Designs called Moorish Fleur de Lis. Don’t do as I do. Try to stay on top of it all and clean your stencils before they become so caked with paint!

Dirty stencil on hatThis head dress has the gold foil topped with dirty stencil. It did work out fine for this small use! And did I clean it after? Not yet.
