I got thinking...after all, this class is called "Make It Personal (MIP)" so I purchased some Mylar and heat up my soldering iron (too cheap to buy a stencil cutter and too lazy to use Xacto knife). I found some geometric designs on google and proceeded to cut them out. And guess what! It worked...they aren't the greatest but I am lovin the large stencil...you all know I'm big on the geometric designs.
Next up I printed using the stencils! What a surprise!
I really like this print!
I can see where this could be used in addition to some other stencil prints.
Next up I'll over dye the papers or maybe even print more stencil designs...but first, I have to heat up that soldering iron! HA
What a great idea, Robbie! I never thought of using a soldering iron to "cut" stencils.
ReplyDeleteKuddos…..very successful……and a much easier approach than what I’ve been doing…..using clear iron-on fusible vinyl…..hard to cut…so flimsy difficult to attach to silk screen material. Tx’s for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteVery nice results! Definitely worth it.
ReplyDeleteI've never cut stencils, but I sure love your results!
ReplyDeleteThe thought process sounds like mine. I. Might add, I did some this many years ago, so that makes me an expert, rights? But the revelation is nothing like I am doing right now! I would be loving it. glen
