Sandra,
Most of the online instructions don't seem to have photos. Guess that's something we need to put together for StencilSearch.com.
Here is a link that is pretty good, although a bit hard to read with the centered text:
Buckingham Stencils. It appears to be an excerpt from one of
Sandra Buckingham's books, any of which I highly recommend. You might want to check for them in your local library.
Hands-on classes are the best, of course, but can be hard to find, so a stenciling
book or
video can be a good alternative.
It's very important to use decent quality
stencil brushes and to remember to OFFLOAD. Stenciling is a drybrush technique, and nothing will take the fun out of it faster than run unders! I think the
stencil cremes are a little easier for beginners, because they aren't as runny, and don't dry out on you so fast.
Good luck and Happy Stenciling!
