You can read our instructions for prompt 22 of #thestencilfiedjournal below and I'm almost embarrassed about the simplicity of my spread in the 9 x 14cm art journal.
I used just one stencil after painting the entire spread with black gesso. It was stencil
L477 Versailles from Stencilgirl®, designed by Nathalie Kalbach and I used titanium white paint to stencil with. It had been the plan to do more but once I had done the stencilling I suddenly saw a face looking back at me. A bit like the Green Man sculptures you find hidden in cathedrals and the like.
The face was emphasised a bit more by putting pupils in the eye shapes and then I collaged on the word ESCAPE from a magazine as my contribution from a friend. It's not quite as per the instructions but we tried writing on the page and it just didn't show up. I also overstepped the black and white brief as I simply couldn't help myself and had to outline with a red gelli pen. So a lot of rule breaking here! But I think it makes for effective pages and suited my mood at the time.
