Angel stencil for making ornaments

Today I modified a stencil that I used a few years ago. I reduced the size and tweaked the shape to fit on the circular wooden ornament.

I am using the traditional “hole” stencil, so I had to build a bridge to the space between the arm and the face. Usually you want to build bridges in a place that is a natural break in the design.

I printed several impressions of the angel on some gelatin prints. And they printed up quite nicely. My first one was a bit heavy handed with the paint, so the edges were a bit jagged.

I think that I will paint and texturize some of the wooden discs and stencil print directly on them with the angel. It is a bit easier that way.
