r/stencils

Anyone remembers the app that generated these?

I remember years back there used to be an app that generated those dotted and lined images. It was very simple. Any one remember it?

First multi-color stencil I've ever done. I saw a shirt posted on pics that I wanted on my wall.

How do you lay an adhesive stencil in the exact center of watercolor paper?

I got a sign maker to make me a circle on lower tack ad adhesive stencil paper. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get it on my paper exactly in the center. I’m thinking to make a pinhole in the center of the stencil and match it to a mark in the center of the watercolor paper. Perhaps I would also need to make lines at each of the four quadrants of the circle. Any tips would be appreciated!

Your sign to do old 3d style. Neon magenta and a cyan/teal I mixed. Great anime btw.

Another day another stencil and patchb

Shout out to anarcho stencilism. This one wasn't too bad.

Just figuring it out…

Had a sign made for me at the last No Kings and it captured my imagination. Since then I’ve been on the trial an error plan, but I can see progress!

Childhood memory in spray paint

Ok. This is an unusual piece for me, but hear me out.

This little thing(about 10cm high) is designed after a specific Sankyo music box toy. It was a very important keepsake for someone that I made this stecil for.

It has 7 layers and took way longer than I had expected. Still a lot of fun to cut and spray.

Edit: and of course I will redo the thing with a black background! Damn! Yellow on White? What was I thinking?

There are small things that I can improve, but happy with the result :)

Welp - least it looks like a Loon now…

I’ve rushed the laserbeam I because it’s already tomorrow here. I was just excited to try out the new stencils. Thankfully, it is just on cardboard. Once I get more sign board I’ll exercise better patience….

I used a bit too much spray adhesive, is it possible to remove the residue of the adhesive without lifting the paint or fucking up the stencil?

I love how clean this spray of the stencil came out, it's my second time doing it after my last attempt resulted in so much paint bleed that I sanded it down and started over. But this time around I overcompensated and used far too much spray adhesive on the stencil before placing it, and it left a bunch of sticky residue that's discoloring the background slightly. Is it possible to remove this residue without lifting the paint of the stencil? Unfortunately some of the residue is underneath the gold paint.
