Description
Wow. So I had an absolutely horrible time trying to figure out which category to upload this to; the only entry for stencils I could find was under street art/graffiti, which really isn't where this goes ...Anyways! The first of many stencils I'm working on for a huuuuuge project. No, I can't tell you what it is yet. ^-^ But I'm excited.
I would just like to say here and now that creating a stencil from scratch is humongously difficult. Like AMG-WHERE-IS-AN-INDUSTRIAL-SIZED-BOTTLE-OF-ADVIL-WHEN-YOU-NEED-IT difficult. Sketching something, converting the sketch to a line drawing of only positive and negative space, blocking it and then cutting the whole thing out is ... just wow. Hopefully I didn't do too badly. Some of the edges need to be cleaned out, I can still see the paper fibers where the cut didn't -quite- go all the way through the cardstock and sort of ripped out instead of pulling out cleanly. :<
The actual size of this is about 5"x5", so a lot of the inner part of the rose is -very- delicate, and I am oh-so-afraid-to-rip-it. x_x
Tools of the trade: 0.5 Mechanical Pencil, Clicky Eraser, A LOT of Strathmore sketch paper, 60 lb. cardstock, and an X-acto knife.
And some advil. -_-

Mind if I use this and alter it for part of a tattoo design for myself?
It's gorgeous.

I don't mind, no, as long as it's altered somewhat. I'm glad you like it!

Hi,
great stencil! So simple, but reale powerfull! I would like to have this on my new plattform. ItΒ΄s a wall art community. Many artists from deviantart already there.
In our community you as an artist decide the price for every Artwork!
You as an Artists can upload artworks and we are producing wall decals in any size for the customers.
You decide of your own how much you want to earn each time we sell your artwork!
And there is no point where you have to pay anything for earning money. You could do with your artworks anything else, also if we convert them to vector graphics for you. We are art enthusiasts of our own, thatΒ΄s why.
If you have any questions or especially if you need help to convert your artworks to vector graphics, you can contact me. Itβs really easy and I can do that for you or tell you how (in three easy steps with free software inkscape or illustrator). Please contact me (marcel@taperay.com) or have just a look at [link]
As earlier you start, so better will your position in the future..
Thanks, Cheers, Marcel

I have no problem with you using it, as long as you credit it to Danita Kuchera. (me) Just please don't let any of your classmates use it without checking with me first.

Thank you. I'm considering doing some more, now that I'm actually moved and settled in to somewhere I'll be more than 6 months.

I love this. I do stencils and i know how difficult they are. I am amazed at the detail. I do stencils and make t-shirts out of them. This just blows my mind a little bit.

Thank you. I should do some more stencils, that was the first one I'd ever done and I was so annoyed with it by the time I finished that I never really did more. X.x Maybe that's something to do over winter break.

I finally moved somewhere that I'm not worried about losing right away, I think I will start again this summer when I have some free time. I think I'd like to do one of an iris ...

That's pretty awesome. Could I please get your permission to use it? I'll give credit of course and I won't be using it to make money at all.
