I sprayed some of my owl stencils on really thin Chinese painting practice paper to see how they would paste to things. I found that I really liked them on smooth trees because they completely adhere to the surface in a way that looks natural. In fact from a distance it looks like someone carved the image into the tree. I think I might got for a new line of natural looking wheatpasted images on “wild” surfaces.

The other night a number of wheatpasted, stencil-style graffiti images popped up around campus.
I’m sure it had absolutely nothing to do with me teaching my art club how to make and spray paint stencils. Which I of course meant to be used for creating legal decorations for their dormitory walls.
I’ll keep you updated on this horrible wave of vandalism! Let us all hope these kids learn the value of dull dirty off-white walls and stop this insanity.
The Squirrel and I set out to make a stencil. I grabbed a file folder because of its thickness. She drew a cat on it and I cut it out.The file folder worked out great for a stencil because of the way you can set the paper inside it-- the bottom edge helps with aligning and keeping it in one place.And when we decided to do a
second color (the cat's stripes), I could easily trace the shape onto the back of the folder when closed, then open it up and cut out the stripes......
and if she aligned with the folder's bottom edge when painting the second color, it turned out pretty good.By: ErinSherman & TheSquirrel, age 5.5
