New Raised Plaster Life-sized Willow Tree Stencil
I've had it in my mind for quite some time but each time I would try to focus on creating it, something of course would come up to put the project off. Well, I finally finished the stencil design and I love the look!
To save time, I did the "skip" method with the trunk stencil. That is where you plaster the base stencil, skip the first repeat of the trunk stencil, do every other repeat then once they are dry, come back and do the missing trunk sections.
It goes a lot quicker and while the missing repeats are drying, I can then begin adding the side branch stencil to what is already dry.
The draping leaves are all on one stencil so they go up quickly as well. I did a color wash of pale brown over the entire tree then added sage green to just the right side of the leaves to give the tree just a hint of color.
This particular tree is 8 feet tall and 5 1/2 feet wide and it fills nearly the entire small wall.
Now my vision of having a
Raised Plaster Willow Tree on my walls has been realized...finally!
