However, because of its simple, stencil is convenient for any surface finishingthe same pattern. Stencil is only the techniques used by an entry or marginal,the effect is always with this process. Spray pattern fuzzy boundary, while thestipple pattern will display the brush marks. These simple and charming qualityportrays the unique quality American stencil, application on the walls and furniture in the three hundred years of history in the show their true colors. It is the simplicity of traditional position in the past twenty years the rapidincrease.
Method: in the glue powder
Apply all the surface with an oily lacquer, paste stencil plate to make it dry completely before. As an alternative, you can use water-based acrylic, butleads to roughness effects. Paste stencil plate, use cotton fabric gentlydipping bronze powder, gently wipe with a small bomb, and exquisite circular motion coated stencil. Keep the stencil plate is fixed, with cotton fabric withcopper powder to black background. This will produce a three-dimensional effect, but it is very time-consuming. According to the surface is determined by the size of ornamental position
If the stencil only as a tool instead of a method, its application will be not at all surprising.
Method two: Spray
This is probably the most simple method using stencil paper, even temporarily use the stencil, covered the area around, to prevent any spray splashed on the surface. This method can be used as appropriate, is very useful inprocessing difficulty texture surface larger such as imitation leather panels.But the defect of this technique is the health and environmental problemsbrought about by the use of spray cans, in well ventilated room and masks.
Method three: stippling
This is the oldest American technology, in early eighteenth Century, used for walls, floors and floor cloth
Only engrave brush dipped into a small amount of the paint brush can be, andshould be strong, brush hair should be short, in case the pattern of spread to the edge. Lift the stencil corner can check the operation process. The thinneststencil can also generate clear patterns. Stencil is an often overlookedadvantages, is that you can only use of ornamental part as an independentsubject in the whole design.
Large and complex patterns of ornamental need extra support. In the past,including empty stencil on bridge or link a Japanese hair subtly interspersedinto early engraved in. Large and complex pattern, its subtlety is the awkwardbridge destroyed by. In this pattern with a coarse mesh behind litter to maintain the pattern completely, at the completion of the pattern almost does not leave marks.
Hints and tips:
* commodity stencil use period is short, should be properly preserved. Can be used to describe your own pattern, especially when you are ready to extend adesign or will you design integration into an existing pattern in. The latter is to design an ideal method for stencil you.
* the past literature can make the stencil, with many different materialsincluding tin, iron and oil or shellac processing cardboard. The latter material,two kinds of sealants preferably boiled linseed oil, to fine paint into the cardboard and then erase. Cardboard placed several Angel hard and the formation of a strong imitation leather material becomes oxidized, which can be easily cut, reusable. The use of shellac can form very brittle plate, but can be used as a ''separator'', brush to a day of oil soaked sticky board. Shellaccan be used as temporary and quick drying (30 minutes) sealant.
* the formula is very useful for making stencil, especially when you find hollow board your art shop are sold out or you must immediately cut out a piece of hard stencil at.
* the modern synthetic resin is a kind of more complex alternatives. Because they are transparent, can make the work clearly visible in the stencilbackground, can also better for work positioning (has been engraved pattern arrangement). Acrylic sheet is easy to cut, but too brittle.
* remember that even the smallest part of stencil can be used independently,components can be combined with different methods to form many interestingdeformation. This is the method of early America tour stencil division used,combined pattern from the many small stencil they carry. But the design ofyour own, you can cut the independent pattern, then they are bondedtogether to form a repeating pattern of greater. Remember the stencil can bereversed or inverted, the size and the differences so as to effectively change the pattern of.
* stencil empty cans, and texture of medium such as plastic and goldassociated with shallow relief pattern.
* say simply, ornamental engraving is a block with some signs of cardboard,so that you make the rules on the surface of the pattern. Coverage has been portrayed region using the stencil, can easily describe precisely repeating patterns in a large surface
* the stencil to properly preserved, horizontally, with separate cardboard or paper to prevent sticking together.
