Strut Your Stuff with Stencil Girl and Imagine

In The Studio

It’s Blog-Hop time! This month Imagine teamed up with Stencil Girl for a product/design team collab as well as a giveaway (more details below–make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom!).

I had a lot of fun working with my new tools from Stencil Girl and used them to put together a mixed-media canvas. It started with an acrylic paint base and then–why I don’t I show you, instead.

As you can probably guess, I took my biggest inspiration from the peacock feather stencil and chose colors that worked with that idea. I was more amused than I necessarily should be that I turned the dancing figure into a fan dancer, but it worked (I think?).

Once I had all the basic layers in place, I ended up leaving it on my work table for almost a week, trying to decide how to finish it. The overall look was really bright, which is not my usual goal, and I wanted to add a stamped phrase but I wasn’t sure of the best way to do that at first.

I ended up adding a couple layers of ink buffed over the creative medium bits to highlight the textures and then stamped the message onto vellum, applied it with the Shimmer Artist’s Medium, and called it done!

    1. Thank you! I’m usually more of a silver kind of girl, but the gold and the peacock feathers just fit so well together!

  10. Haven’t thought about fan dancers in a long time.
    She is fantastic.
    Love the vellum with the sentiment.

    1. You never know what ideas from the past might come to the surface as you work on a project. That’s the beauty of just rolling with the process 🙂

  18. Wow! the peacock feathers caught my eye, and then the “loose woman”, was it? very inspiring work!

    1. While I suspect the stencils were named more for Woman, Thou Art Loosed rather than the lady of the night, they’re fun images to play with no matter what!
