A few weeks ago, I created this custom stencil for my clients. They live in a high-rise, 15 stories up, located on the most desirable street in midtown -- Peachtree Street. A very cool location, in a corner unit, with windows on both sides. A fantastic backdrop for cool decor!
The walls were basecoated in a light, icy blue, and I painted my pattern on with a pearly white metallic paint (this is in the master bedroom. I also did an accent stencil wall in the dining area, which I will show you guys later). As you know, I like to make my own stencils, and this one was no different.
here are my tools used to make the stencil:
I use craft paper to create the pattern. I fold my paper in 4's, then cut the pattern out with scissors to make sure it's even. After that, I trace it onto the plastic sheeting, then cut it out with a razor blade on a cutting mat.
the clear sheeting is taped down so it doesn't move around:
So, yes, I painted each one of those medallions (not sure what the term for this shape would be? Medallion sounds wrong...suggestions?) by hand!
I like how it creates a pattern with the stencil itself, but it also creates a reverse pattern with its outside, lined up against itself.
I know it's hard to see, but this is the wall that the bed goes on (it was moved for me to paint!).
Woo! I'm dying to do this pattern in a more graphic colorway, like chocolate and cream, or black and white!
Your talent astounds me. Truly. Share the love!
ReplyDeleteyou are too sweet...thank you :)
ReplyDeleteOh to be able to make this look so easy like you do! And, please...black and white asap. That would be killer!
ReplyDeleteI like how you start your stencil tutorial, but I'd love to see the actual stencil after you cut it out.

thanks guys!
ReplyDeleterob - i will try and post it, if i remember. for some reason, i didn't take a pic of it the day that i did this - no idea why. it looks like the shape, though ;)
This is stunning. I second rob :-).
ReplyDeleteWas the wall initially silver and you painted the bluish color over that?
thank you! i was going to take a stencil photo yesterday, but i found it at the studio, and apparently the plastic i used to make the stencil with was too thin, because its now curled up and un-usable (and a picture would've been pointless, as it didn't look like anything). :( the wall was blue, and i painted the silver on.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I agree with the other poster. You make things look so easy. And the part about your talent being astounding!... Ali
