I paid a visit to Chronicle Books in San Francisco recently to go over promotional parties for the new book. Keep posted for that! Well, as I arrived, I saw that the sidewalks were tagged with my stencils using chalk spraypaint! So fun! Thanks Chronicle!
A very happy friday to everyone! I’m here to introduce myself as Stencil 1’s newest team member! This is Ed and I getting set up at the Chicago CHA show, marvelling at the wonders of the skeleton onesie! The perfect outfit for the lil’ rocker baby in every family! I digress…my name is Elaine Barr, this is me (http://elainebarrdesigns.blogspot.com/). I’m a die hard crafter, my hands are always busy! I absolutely love Stencil 1! The imagery is soooooo cool..here are a few things I’ve made;
This is the deer stencil on an ATC sized piece of Stampbord…a nice gesso-ed surface that the Stencil 1 sprays look Fabulous on!
This is a fun piece of background paper. I improvised for the polka dot background..but the real star is the awesome high heel stencil, in black, red and pink sprays!
I’ll be posting a lot more samples, how to’s and glamour shots…:)! Be sure to check back..and often!
Yes, we now have an Obama Stencil! Use it to make t-shirts, political posters, paint it in your window to show your support, just Spread The Word! Obama in ’08!

This was my favorite piece, exhibited right before Christmas:
