Stupendous Stenciling!

The back of the cupboard pictured below was originally meant to be covered with a patterned wallpaper. However I couldn't find a wallpaper that suited, so I decided to stencil a pattern on instead.

I designed a stencil that had a mixture of thick and thin lines in an abstract leaf-type pattern. I wanted a pattern that would look good when repeated but had no specific theme so as to appeal to the widest range of people.

The background I painted in Farrow and Ball Tallow. The pattern was a mix of Farrow and Ball Dead Salmon and gold paint.

To the left is the stencil after I'd finished using it and the first test I did with it. As you can see the stencil took a bit of a beating but it mostly held together pretty well.

I'll take another photo of the whole cupboard once it's been put together.
