CountryStyle Stenciling
Author: 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-k... more »ind 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 Basics chapter features a complete, easy-to-follow review of stenciling techniques, and there is a glossary of stenciling terms. Detailed instructions accompany each project.

The elegant country and classic designs you'll create belie the ease with which they're made. Just pick a project, trace the pattern, and brush on the paints for a hand-painted treasure.
