About this title

Synopsis

From furniture to floorcloths, walls to window treatments, stenciling adds beautiful patterns simply and inexpensively--without the daunting prospect of having to paint freehand. It allows the original finish to shine through and adds whimsy and interest to every corner. Start by learning all the basic techniques; then become inspired by a gallery of professional designs, including a Pineapple Firescreeen, Garden Room, Farmstead Bucket, Wild Animal Chest, and more. 12 projects include small personal items like a silk scarf and personal stationery, as well as a range of designs for the home: terra-cotta pots, a flower-accented wall cabinet, a cotton curtain with a bold, graphic border, and a classically styled dado rail among them. Includes traceable patterns. 96 pages (all in color), 7 1/2 x 10 1/2.

Review

Basic doesn't have to mean boring: author Kathy Fillion Ritchie has dreamed up 12 easy, jazzy projects to adorn everything from a silk scarf or a curtain to a cabinet or floorcloth with simple stencil motifs. After a brief but adequate discussion of preliminaries (materials, design transfer, stencil cutting, surface preparation, and paint application), the book showcases a small selection of striking professional stencilwork to inspire the reader, then offers its dozen step-by-step projects. Full patterns are included for each item, along with indications of how much to enlarge them on a photocopier, making it possible for even absolute beginners to realize stencil success. --Amy Handy
