Playing with stencils

I was quite inspired by Linda Blinn's workshop on adding colour to your journal pages through the Strathmore free online workshop. I already had a face in profile stencil I made and I have been really focusing on faces lately so I just decided to go for it. She used watercolour crayons, pencils and I added in walnut ink because I just can't resist it. :)

I use Ginko leaves for hair? on the right and fibres on the left character.
Linda was using circle templates and all sorts of things to make designs with that I had not thought of using in that way. Cool! I love finding new ways to use existing tools in your studio.
I don't think these pages are finished but I like where they are going.
Really excited about springtime. Its just around the corner.
