Be resourceful

The Santa which is Mum and Dad gave me this very cool book for Christmas - Stencil 101 by Ed Roth. It includes reusable stencils inside the book - tear out, use, clean and reuse! Love it!

Stencil 101

Yesterday morning I had a lot of fun stencilling some old singlets. These singlets were bought about eight years ago and have really seen better days. While they have no holes or stains, they have lost a lot of shape and colour due to too much wear - I wear all four of them each week in summer. They are perfect for wearing to the pool, around the house, and whilst gardening.

I didn't really want to throw these out - but they needed to be jazzed up a little. So ...

Stenciled singlets

And now I want to stencil everything in sight!

  2. I hope the calming blue colour has been a good omen for Summernats. Hopefully it hasn't been too loud for you this year.
