[.ca] Stencilling on a Grand Scale: Using Simple Stencils to ... (ISBN 1552094863)

Very practical instruction:
I found this book to be very helpful. I was struggling with a large painting project and realized I could use stencil techniques to portray the the ribs of the saguaro cactus I was working on. The stenciled drapery examples were just what I needed for inspiration. The instructions were very clear and complete. I would recommend this book to first timer stencilers, as well as seasoned painters. The examples were inspirational. THANKS SANDRA!

The Best For Beginners:
I came across this book in my local library and loved it so much I bought a copy for myself. Ms. Buckingham manages to create beautiful trompe l'oeil work with simple techniques that are easy for even the absolute beginner. An added bonus is that her stencils are available online...

Hard Cover Quality In a Paperback:
Grab this book without hesitation! I saw the author on the show, "Home Matters" and was instantly motivated to buy this book. When I saw that it was available in both hard- and soft- cover verrsions, my decision was difficult. Usually saving a few bucks on the paperback version of any book means sacrificing quality; thin paper, fewer illustrations, shortened versions. etc. When I opted to buy this in the paperback form, I was expecting the usual compromises. I was, joyfully, wrong! This book not only boasts the easy instructions and wonderful pictorials of the hardcover version, it also has wonderful, high quality paper stock rarely found even in hardcover these days. The quality of this book will stand up to years of planning and crafting!

Hands On - How to do - Great!:
Ms. Buckingham takes us step by step through many processes. The techniques show how to make simple stenciling into a work of art. Illustrations carry you though the steps. A wonderful reference book for the stencil artist.

Great for beginners and Experts:
I purchased this book 2 years ago. At the time I did not know they sold stencils until I purchased a few stencils on their website along with their video. The book is easy to follow and they give you many ways to incooporate simple stencils. This book encouraged me to create a mural from a small picture and brought out a talent that I never knew existed. Well done. Fantastic pictures with great color which I feel either makes or breaks a simple stencil or a 5 layered stencil. I would highly recommend their book, stencils and their video. If I can learn, anyone can!!!! A+++++
