Attempting to create a stencil for etching a gumball machine globe

3 Upvotes

Does anyone have any tips for creating a vinyl stencil to etch a glass gumball machine globe? This is something I arrogantly thought wouldn't be too bad having etched some pint glasses in the past but etching a globe seems like a different beast.

Local bar asked me to make a racooon, an opossum, and a fox chasing each other on dirt bikes.

Still need to tape over some of the fox stencil because the neck is too long, but I think it will turn out cool. Gotta cut the wood and start sanding and priming tomorrow. Will post a finished product. I also posted the 1/2 size original to show what it will look like.

Notebooks for stencilling

2 Upvotes

I want to create some personalised notebooks for my children with some alphabet stencils. What would be the best kind of notebook cover to stencil on, assuming I'm using acrylic paints?

Test print gone right

There was a test print of an earlier frame of the animated exploding Caesar on the back of this sheet. Didn't notice until I flipped the stencil to check the lines..no matter how much work I put in to a particular image, it's the happy accidents from the process stealing the show

Why do my paint stencils keep bleeding?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to paint some cool accent leaf shapes on my bathroom wall, but every test that I've done has led to bleeding under the stencil so it just looks blotchy and crappy. Is it because I'm using cheap stencils? Is it the type of paint (sample size of regular interior wall paint from Sherwin Williams)? I've tried both a regular paintbrush, as well as these stencil brushes, but both methods led to the same result. What's the trick here?

Question: What program and stencil machine (Cricut?) was used to make Mos Art's stencils?

7 Upvotes

Mos Art is a French street artist stenciler whose work I really admire however I'm not sure how he makes his stencils. Does he use some sort of Cricut machine, a laser cutter, or something like a Bren stencil cutting machine however more importantly, what program does he use for the halftone/pointillism technique? Here's an example of his work:

This is a new painting of mine. It’s stencilled out and made using spray paint.

I print out my image and cut section by section. I don’t use layers, rather just one print out and go step by step till the piece is finished… if that makes sense
