Crafters Workshop The Crafters Workshop TCW-357 Template, 12 by 12-Inch, Cell Theory

I LOVE Crafter's Workshop stencils. The quality is consistent and the designs are always cute. This one is no exception. I used the entire stencil on a couple of projects - and the projects turned out well. That said, I also like using just a portion of the stencil - using just a portion looks like snakeskin. These work really well with spray inks, pens, acrylic paint, Gelatos/gel crayons, spackle, etc - just about any medium you can throw at them. Crafter's Workshop Templates are made from a translucent white mylar - so you can easily see where you are positioning the stencil on your project. (The importance of this cannot be underestimated once you've worked with stencils you can't see through.) Easily cleaned, nice weight, and durable. I love this design - and always return to Crafter's Workshop Templates. It's awesome that the designs TCW's offers are available in both their large (12"x12") and small (6"x6") sizes. They also have TONS of ideas on their site at [...] Be careful - they are addictive!

I love the results with this stencil! Nice organic bubbles, looks random rather than contrived or cutesy. I've used with multiple sizes of gelli plates (acrylic paint monoprinting) and the large size of the stencil gives a lot of versatility. Seems very durable, too!

This stencil has so many uses. You can use the entire template or just a corner. The cells are different sizes so you get to choose which ones you want on your artwork. You can use it with paints, inkpads, gel plates, etc.I love it!

I love this stencil. I have used it to create background on mixed media art and recently used it to stencil an abstract design on two 18" x 72" scarves that I sewed together to make a summer serape. Depending upon the colors used and the placement of paint, this stencil can create the appearance of stones, bubbles and even random flowers. It can look contemporary and, in the case of my recent scarf/serape project, it can appear as a somewhat oriental themed design. If done with focused intent, I think the segments with smaller openings could even be used to replicate rough animal hide and the larger areas for a turtle shell. This stencil was economical in price and is durable.

This stencil is GORGEOUS! I just wish that it wasn't all bent up. It was sent in an oversized box which you would think would keep it from getting messed up so I am pretty sure it was bent up before it was sent which is sad to think they would send something anyways like that...BUT I LOVE THE STENCIL itself..

Great laser cut templete I use for airbrushing backgrounds and other textured areas. Good sharp edges, durable material that cleans up easily for me using acrylics and water based airbrush paints!

This stencil took the abuse of acrylic paint and texture paste like a champ. Washed off well too. Still held it's shape and durability.

Applying this was pretty cool; I just used my brand of spray paint (I.E. Montana Spray Paints) and applied with the template. The picture provided is 3 different coats, with a semi gloss sprayed.Added gold molding to add raised texturingTip: Be sure to have your stencil flat and can mixed/shaken for proper displacement! Otherwise you will have leakage.
