Paint and paper magic

Stencils are soooo worth a look again, what with pattern being such a continuingly big trend in interiors. Anyways, I stumbled across the stencil project below that I thought would be cool to share. The designs are from stylist (and talented stencil-er) Tracy Lynch, shot by Justin Patrick, and showed up on the glossy pages of Elle Decoration South Africa. The glass pattern was used to fancy-up paper tablecloths (there's a knife and fork stencil too), but I could see them working wonders as a repeated wall pattern, used singly as brill bit of artwork, or scattered across a few yards of plain cotton fabric. If you fancy a go at this yourself you can download the patterns and instructions right here. Oh, and for a bit more fun, you can see Tracy and her artist husband's home featured here on Apartment Therapy.

AW- cool heads-up. could be a fun project for holidays/ new years with twinkly lights. I like that it feels a bit more organic and less machine made, more free-hand especially on cray paper. :) ox t
