stencils

last night i tried out making some stencils and using fabric paint on some of the kid's old clothes. i think it turned out pretty well. i had hoped to use freezer paper for the stencils but ended up with this thin plastic that i found at the fabric store. i am actually quite glad in the end because it was hard to cut the details on the stencils and if they were done on freezer paper they wouldn't be reusable, and these are. 
i chose a bunch of pictures to trace from kid's books. these are the ones i liked best. the moose is the "hungary moose" from harold and the purple crayon, and the ballerina is from a ballet book that bee has. i am in love with the moose, maybe next i can make the deserving porcupine!
