More Stencil and Gelli Plate Experiments

Here are more of my experiments using DecoArt stencils with the Gelli Plate for creating an array of collage papers.

This is one of the collages that I created using a simple DecoArt Stencil “Bon Voyage.” Several collages were inspired by this stencil in the same way that I worked with the last stencil “Oopsy Daisy.”

The Bon Voyage stencil is a whole sheet of names of international cities. Rather than making the city names my focus, I have reversed the letters and overlapped others. They were printed on top of paper that was already painted or, in some cases, maps:

Bon Voyage 1 – Collage with Stencils and Hand Painted Papers, 8×8 on 12×12″ backing

Each collage gave me inspiration for the next one.

Bon Voyage 2, Collage, 6×6 on 8×8″ Backing

And the next . . .

Fun times in the studio!
