"I know you each have a story about why you have used Dressler Stencils, how you first got excited about them, how they have affected your home, your career, your life. I need your stories, to show how we have shared our love of art, design and craft with each other."

Later, as I was searching stencilsearch.com for dragonfly stencils, a memory involving a Dressler stencil did come back to me. Almost 8 years ago, I spent a wonderful weekend stenciling in St. Louis, and here's one of the things my friend Tammi painted that weekend, using a Dressler stencil:

Stenciled Screen Door

I painted this screen years ago, to hide the lovely view of the garage behind it. I later took a screen stenciling class from Nancy Tribolet, and learned how I could have done it better! For instance, I had trouble getting the tape holding my stencil up to stay in place, but Nancy taught us to use stud earrings instead of tape. (She really is a wonderful teacher, so if you ever get the chance to take one of her classes, snap it up!)

If you'd like to see more of my screen door, look here.

A quick google search brought up some more ideas for screen stenciling:

If there is a stencil from her collection that you've always wanted, you'd better head over to her website now, before it's too late.]]> Stencil Designers http://millcreekstenciling.com/index.php?itemid=3 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 08:14:48 -0500 Something new... http://millcreekstenciling.com/index.php?itemid=2 web design skills. Still, it was the first site I ever designed, and I guess I was a little attached.

Since it is still here, I've decided to repurpose it as a stenciling blog. I'm not a writer, so my entries will be brief and stenciling related. I will share stenciling news, highlight my recent stenciling projects or favorite stencil designs, and feature some talented artists.

Stay tuned...
