The photo you see above is the backview of the Wedding Box that I have been describing in the last few posts. I wanted the front of the box to be the focal point of the design and the sides and back to not detract, I also wanted the design to flow into the front. I was concerned that this might be a difficult task until I happened to be surfing the net and saw the most amazing stencils from a company called Nature's Vignettes. www.naturesvignettes.com I had already decided that a diamond pattern stencil might be the way to go but had only been able to find stencils in a small size and this box is not small, consequently repeating that design might take a lot of time and effort. Now I have to admit that I really prefer to make my painting job go as seamlessly as any creative project can go and didn't want to have to repeat a stencil as many times as using a small one would take. Then I happened upon the Harlequin stencil that you see above #305 Classic Harlequin. The repeat was super easy and it all went together seamlessly which was a good thing because the front proved to be somewhat problematic. But that is a story for a later post.
