Stencil 101 Book Review and Giveaway

I'm having a giveaway!  I received a copy of the fun and crafty Stencil 101 to review on CraftGossip and will be giving one copy away to a lucky reader.

 

Stencil 101: Make Your Mark with 25 Reusable Stencils and Step-by-Step Instructions
Author: Ed Roth
Publisher: Chronicle Books

Chronicle Books has published another wonderful craft title with Stencil 101.  The author, Ed Roth, is a graphic designer based in Brooklyn, where he founded the graffiti art-inspired Stencil1 design company.  Stencil 101 is a collection of Roth’s favorite designs, from urban to delicate and feminine.

The book contains a brief history of stenciling, tips on how to stencil, and suggestions for materials based on the project you would like to make.  Projects inside include a wall, t-shirts, a dresser, a lamp shade, sneakers, a pillowcase, and a window.  The wall project is one of the best for beginners, as it is a large, flat surface, but all of the projects are easy enough even for those new to the craft.  My favorite project is a cake, using cocoa powder or sugar to “paint” with!  I also like the greeting card project, easily created using store bought blank cards.  Both are great ways to personalize a birthday, holiday, or any other celebration!  The pillowcase project is also a fun one, which can be a fun weekend DIY project to liven up your bedroom décor.

The twenty-five reusable stencils come in a wide range of designs, from swallows to an owl with a moon to a poodle and even a sumo wrestler!  After using the stencils, simply clean them off and store them in the handy pocket at the end of the book, ready for your next project.  The stencils are mostly large and would be best for bigger canvas projects, but there are a handful of smaller stencils.

One World, One Heart Giveaway

I'm a little late jumping on the bandwagon, but I just learned about this wonderful event that Lisa Oceandreamer created in order to help foster support within the blog community.  The ONE World - ONE Heart event is a blog-wide giveaway event.  The original idea behind this was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet.  It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.  Last year's event had nearly 100 participants and many connections were made because of it....friendships that are still going strong.

I'll be giving away this necklace, made of Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. 

Just enter by midnight on February 13th and I will pick the winner by random number generator on the 14th for a little Valentine's Day gift!  I will post the winner here on the 14th, so be sure to check back! 

All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment - on this post only - and say where you are from.  Please make sure there is a way to contact you in case you are the winner!
