On My Bookshelf


This week's book is another of those books that transformed they way that I create in the studio--Stencil 101 by Ed Roth.

I have always enjoyed stencils and making things with stencils but I never really understood the basics of creating stencils before reading this book. This book provided me with the basics of how to create art by using stencils. The book provides step-by-step instructions for 9 different projects. More importantly, it provides basic explanations of how to make your own stencils. The best part of the book is that there are numerous plastic cut-out stencils for you to use. The author also includes the print outs of the stencils should you need to enlarge or reduce them for your own purposes.

This is a great book for anyone that is trying to introduce stenciling into their own artwork, scrapbooks or journals. A superb addition to anyone's library.
