Synopsis

To make a big impression, says stencilling expert Sandra Buckingham, you don't have to re-create the Sistine Chapel. Start small, she counsels, and the rest will follow. This, her latest book, leads do-it-yourselfers beyond the realm of decorative borders to a creative canvas whose limits are determined only by space, time and imagination. The key to her strategy is that a large stencilled work -- be it a door, a wall, a screen or an entire floor - can be the seamless sum of its parts. In other words, rather than using an expensive, unwieldy, multi-layered stencil to create a life-sized tree, use three 10 inch stencils of leaf clusters, laying and re-laying them to achieve the desired effect. The only limit to the ultimate size of the finished painting is the room you've set aside for it. New in paperback - first published in hardback in 1997, with 35,000 hardback copy sales since then (ISBN 1-55209-143-0). In full colour - with nearly 300 colour photographs and designs.
