 Do you love triangular and other geometric shapes?  Prayer Flags, a 9" x 12" mask, is full of them! 


Prayer Flags


I've surprised myself in discovering that I probably have used this mask more than any of my other StencilGirl stencils and masks!


A print made on a background of assorted colors.  The substrate is paper.


A double print, made by using the mask one way, then flipping it over to create a second print with a different orientation.  The substrate is paper.


Another print made on a paper background of assorted colors



 A print on a background of assorted colors and shapes.  The substrate is a sheet of foreign newsprint.



A "ghost" print, made by lifting a mask or stencil while it's still wet with paint and flipping it over, using it the way a rubber stamp is used.  It's called "ghost" because this method is printing with leftover areas of paint.  Here the substrate is stretched canvas.




Another print made on a background of assorted colors.  Here the substrate is stretched canvas previously layered with paints.

This greeting card with matching envelope were decorated with a Prayer Flags print that had been done on a sheet of foreign newsprint.
  



In this close-up detail shot of a painting on canvas, Prayer Flags was used to make a subtle imprint in the brown area on the left side.




A print made with the subtractive technique on stretched canvas.  This method calls for applying a layer of acrylic paint and, while it's still wet, placing a mask or stencil atop it.  The next step is to rub across the stencil or mask with a soft cloth, removing the paint that shows thru the openings of the mask or stencil.  If the paint has started to dry, the soft cloth still works, if sprayed lightly with water.
