The Gentle Beauty of Feathers ... with Stencils



I've long been fascinated by feathers -- most are soft to the touch and most can float in lazy zig-zags as they surrender to gravity.  And I love the graceful curves that many of them form.  

These qualities inspired me to design two stencils, Feathers 9 Stencil (9" x 12") and Feathers 6 Stencil (6" x 6") ... and I've used them often.



Above:  made with Feathers 6 Stencil (6" x 6")

Above:  Feathers 9 Stencil was used over a print made with 6" x 6" Penguin Family.


Above:  Feathers 9 Stencil was used over a 3-layer Gelli Plate print made with Feathers 6 Stencil and (in the central area) a real feather. 

  
Above:  Feathers 9 Stencil was used over an old nautical map, painted orange.



Above:  Feathers 9 Stencil was used over a blue print made with Prayer Flags stencil (9" x 12".)



Above:  Again, Feathers 9 Stencil was used over a 3-layer Gelli Plate print made with Feathers 6 Stencil and (in the central area) a real feather. 

Last but far, far from least, I'm delighted to show this artwork --




-- a beautiful journal cover created by Kymona Tracey.  The beauty of her art-making equals the beauty of her name!
