Book Reviews of Projection Stenciling
Book Review: An innovative approach to stencilling
Summary: 5 Stars
This book widened my perception of stenciling. Previously I thought of stencilingf as a neat, precise, predictable repeated pattern. A craft to add embellishment to a piece of furniture or a border around a room. When I first flipped through the pages of this book it was hard to believe I was looking at stenciling. If this process at first looks difficult, don't be fooled. Clear step-by-step instructions walk you through the process. I found once I had done a few projects from the book I was ready to produce my own original artwork. This book is a nice addition to the library of any decorative painter and a must for the wannabe artist.Book Review: From someone who has never stencilled before
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who has never stencilled before but who has spent many years drawing and painting, this book has inspired me to try projection stencilling and expand my skills to the wall (so to speak) - something I would never have attempted without the information in this book. I think the authors have brought stenciling forward a step or two - to something a little more creative or to where someone who wants to be a little more creative (with stencilling ) will be inspired to do so. "artistic ideas, inspiration & method excellently presented"Book Review: A Great Resource!
Summary: 5 Stars
Want a mural but can't draw? This book is for you. It's packed with ideas and detailed instructions on how to project images to trace or how to use a grid system to get images transferred and ready for painting. The authors years of experience comes through in their ideas, tips and explanations and they hold nothing back. A great resource for dramatically transforming a room on a budget!Book Review: OK If You Are Looking For Projects
Summary: 4 Stars
I was disappointed in this volume, only because it contained very little instruction, but instead demonstrated the techniques through projects. If you want a grand and slightly garish display of zebras or dolphins on your walls, this is the book for you. If you are trying to learn how to enlarge something and create stencils from it, you can probably find more information elsewhere.Book Review: Great ideas
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never thought of stenciling in this way. I have made my own stencils in the past using acetate or paper, but I never thought of making whole scenes in this way. I probably won't create any of her particular projects, but by the instructions she gives for doing them, I am able to use the same techniques for my ideas. It really opened my eyes to a new way of doing things.
