Now here is Desiree to show you how she used the stencils!!!

Hi everyone, my name is Desiree Habicht and I am a multi-media and mixed media artist. I love to work in many different mediums and fiber is one of my favorites! I have been playing on fabric with my stencils to explore different ways to incorporate them into my art quilts.

I

 have been playing with different paints and fabrics so I can see how the stencils work under different conditions.

I have been thrilled with my results. I not only have made some small art quilts that I am mounting on canvas but I have incorporated various elements in my stencil to other art quilts and surfaces.

One of the things I like the best with my stencil, is that there are a variety of images so I can pull different looks into specific areas of my piece. I have been working on a large art quilt that I still haven't revealed to the public so you are getting a sneak peak on how I am incorporating different elements of my stencil onto the queens clothing and trims.

 

I can't wait to release my finished piece. I am also exploring the idea of just using the outlines part of the stencil as a pattern for overall quilting. You can see here how I was practicing my free motion quilting by using the stencil to draw a light pattern which i can follow with my stitching.

I have done it in a contrasting thread so you can see my stitching lines. 

I love the versatility of stencils! I had an opportunity to try the stencils with ceramic glazes on some plates.

 

I used the different stencils to apply glazes to the plate surfaces and then had them fired. I am very happy with the results I am getting on all these different surfaces.  I am still in the process of moving onto my sketchbooks! I hope you will check back and see what other great projects I have created using these wonderful stencils. You can see more of my work on my BLOG and WEBSITE. Happy Creating!!
