I carved this little owl out of wood yesterday and painted it this morning, I've never carved before and it's based offs painting I did a while back

Very little done in the jacket but it's definitely gonna be my favoutie

Ní bheidh sé críoch am ar bith go luath, ach is aoibhinn liom é cheanna féin

Thosaigh mé ag éist ar "the clash" arís sa deireadh seachtaine agus ceapaim go bhfuil tá tuillte acu an spás ar mo bhríste gairid

How to make a stencil for your patches

⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

You will need:

Sponge

Watercolour paper / card

Art knife / boxcutter

Acrylic paint

Fabric

1. Find what you want to make into a patch. It's best if you can find a black and white image of what you want (or just draw it), whatevers in white should be able to support itself when you get rid of the negative space.

2. Print and use the edge of a pencil to shade the back of the image, it should look a bit tike this.

3. Flip around and use masking tape to stick it to card or watercolour paper, then use a blunt pencil to trace around your image. You should be left with a faded outline of what you want on the card underneath.

4. Use an art knife or box cutter to carve out all the negative space

5. Finally used a sponge and some acrylic paint and dab it over the stencil onto your fabric. I ironed the fabric I used beforehand so it was flatter and easier to print on

Anyway Ive struggled finding ways to print that work for me so I hope this works for other ppl

Hi!! I saw the stenciled patch you made and I think it looks awesome, what base did you use for the stencil? I've tried a few different materials but none have worked for me

Hey tysm for the ask,

I accually just used watercolour paper, it's thicker than card and it deosnt curl up like normal paper after U use it
