| Country-Style Stenciling Hardback book with Dust Jacket by Margaret Boyles Copyright 1991 by Margaret Boyles " There's magic in a stencil !
With a simple pattern, you can make a series of identical designs or create decorative pictures- on any surface. " " Using Margaret Boyles' clear, easy-to-follow directions and her uniquely appealing and graceful designs, you can transform ordinary fabric, paper, wood, metal, and ceramic objects into one-of-a-kind accents for every room.
You'll find a wide range of stenciling possibilities: Projects include bookshelves, cradles, trunks, quilts, place mats, and tables.
A small box becomes a rose-covered treasure trove; a trunk becomes a decorative focus with accents of metallic paint.
Scores of designs and full-size patterns invite you to enjoy this timeless craft. " " Several styles of stencils are included.
Some are traditional one-piece designs with bridges; others use successive layers, forming designs without bridges.
Black outlines can be used to simulate Pennsylvania Dutch art, or small hand-applied details can be added for a final personal flourish. " " The applications are endless.
Using just a few of the more than 60 trace-and-cut stencil patterns in COUNTRY-STYLE STENCILING, you can make any of the following:
Country Pinks Pillow evokes a field of wildflowers with its floral design against a crisp white fabric
Tulip Flower Pots uses sponge painting and a country motif to turn a clay pot into a ceramic accessory.
Candle Box and Wallpaper Border with Bright Apples displays rows of luscious fruit against a background of delicate latticework.
Octagonal Clock makes time the center of attention with gilded sheaves of wheat nestled against a faux-tortoiseshell background.
Meagan's Little Cabinet transforms a wooden box into a personalized accent piece for any child's room. " " In this compendium of classic and contemporary patterns, over 60 projects are shown in lavish, full-color photographs.
Here, too, are borders and accents, which may be altered to suit your needs.
Dozens of full-color prints are provided to show exactly how the stenciled color can be shaded for different effects. " The book is in excellent condition with minor wear to the dust jacket, including a paper tear on the binding side where it appears as if a price tag was removed.
