This is the first book that not only covers all aspects of stenciling but also offers a unique series of innovative designs that release this popular craft from the tyranny of the floral border. From basic skills to ambitious schemes for decorating entire rooms, "Decorating with Stencils" contains step-by-step instructions, invaluable tips on techniques, and a host of ideas for both small and largescale projects, making it ideal for both the novice and the more experienced stenciler.

Much plusher than most stenciling guides, this volume is filled with gorgeous stenciled rooms, complete directions, and templates for each pattern (about 30 in all). Refreshingly, there's barely a floral among them; instead there are marvelous historically inspired designs: heraldic, high Victorian, "Moderne," Indian paisley, Moroccan tile, Scandinavian folk art, ancient Egypt, and French Empire. The first two chapters provide full coverage of tools, supplies, and basic techniques, including making the stencil, various painting methods, planning large projects, and tips on finishes and texturing. Novices can probably handle the simpler geometrics, but many of the projects seem to demand some degree of practice. Quite a few have multiple overlays, and the all-over wall and floor patterns are best attempted by the more experienced. For those who have had their fill of the easy flowery, folksy stuff, this is a wonderful book, with vivid, sophisticated designs created by a master stencil artist. --Amy Handy
