Day 8 Art every day Month
Today I chose butterflies from the Typo pack of stencils.. I thought how I would like to do some butterflies. In my mind I had them fluttering across the page when I was thinking about what to do with this stencil. Started with a baby wipe and some pink and yellow paint.. Then the butterflies mauve and that lovely burgundy I like so much.. Then used the burgundy for the Dylusions stencil the diamonds.. Next a Balzar design stencil Mini bubble doily with some Gesso. Rubbed some Gesso over the diamonds to kind of blend them into the background a bit more where they belonged.. I then looked on my desk in my little container of things I have cut out and not used. I found more butterflies and a birdcage that was just the perfect colour. A few little flowers that I just had to pop on the top, with a brad through and thought yep done.

I wish I owned stencils. I have none, so reading all the ones you used today made my heart flutter faster than those butterflies. This is a lovely spread, and I always love Thoreau.
