it's been a while since i became a student of mary ann moss' stencilry class, and i must admit that i really haven't done too much with it yet. my list of excuses includes not owning a collection of spray paints, not having a place to use non-collection of paints, it being too sweltering hot outside to use non-existant paints, and, well, being a tiny bit distracted with doodling cute little thumbprint people (which has nothing to do with paint).
so, to solve the spray paint dilemma, i decided to get out my chalk pastels and use them instead. i really love the softness of the stenciled images.....and the big bonus is that i don't have to go outside.....
chocolate tends to melt at the speed of light in this heat (which also has nothing to do with paint)!
have a cool-stay-inside-and-be-creative weekend!!
journal page finished using stencils, chalk pastel, micron pen

Lori this is lovely. You are right about the softness of colors with chalk. What a great idea you have...using what you have and making it work out better than expected. Happy creating...
Beautiful Lori! Great use of what's at hand (ha)!
lori, i love your journals....they are beautifully crafted.... ;)
Lori, You did a good job at not getting that melt-in-your-mouth chocolate on this adorable page! There is a certain mystery to the chalk pastels that is so artsy!!
Love this - I am working hard on using my imagination these days!
Oh, Lori, you've done it again. Your consistent quality makes my heart happy.
Lori this has a wonderful feel and look to it!!! Love it!!
just love the idea of 'stencilry'. Enjoy your weekend !
What a cool idea....the colors are so soft and buttery looking...
Great job.....
lol! your love of chocolate might rival mine :) I also have not been able to pick up the spray paints (which I do have), until I needed/wanted to stain a stool outside the other day. Even though I did it around 7pm (and played with stencils), I think I lost about 5 lbs in sweat. SO HOT OUT.
:D
your chalk stencilling is wonderful, love it being so delicate
love to that beautiful hand!
I didn't know that chalk pastel could look so lovely. I haven't touched mine in a while but seeing how gorgeous your piece turned out, I feel inspired to pick them up again...thanks Lori!
Hi Lori! I love your stencilry. I am going to start doing this. Stay inside and keep creating for us, I love your Blog. (PS. giving up coffee and chocolate may have been hard, but it has me creating more...the upside!)Having fun, K
Hi, Lori, I love the chalk and as you say, so soft. Creative with your signature hand! Have a great Sunday xoxox
a wonderful alternative to spraying, love the pastels. hugs
Brilliant idea! I have the same dilemma with spray paints. I love the chalk pastel idea. Must try.
This is just lovely :) you're inspiring me to do a little sketchbook work :)

This is so pretty, Lori. I love the soft colors of the chalk pastels you used and your design is just so sweet!...plus you stayed comfy and cool, and near to your yummy chocolate stash!
