I’m playing with Orly Avineri’s Soft Bones stencil from StencilGirl, one of her 5 new stencils. I’m not the only one playing – this is a blog hop! With a giveaway too!
PanPastels are a fast and easy way to build a pattern with a stencil because you don’t have to wait for a thing to dry. Since I am patience impaired, I love that I don’t have to wait…
Check out the video where I show you how I used one part of the stencil Soft Bones with Phthalo Blue PanPastel.
Watch Using PanPastels with Stencil to Build a Pattern on YouTube.
I rarely seal PanPastels in my art journal but when I do, I use the Gelli Plate to do it. I’ve got a video showing how – Sealing PanPastels with a Gelli Plate .

Carolyn, Love the way you used Orly’s new Soft Bones Stencil. Pan Pastels look so scrumptious. I really need to invest in them. Thanks for the great ideas.
I just saw these stencils on StencilGirl’s pinterest page and I pinned them. They are terrific and I love what you did with them using PanPastels (which I don’t yet have). Thanks for the opportunity!
TOTALLY, TOTALLY inspired how you used this ONE element! FANTASTIC!
love Orly’s new Soft Bones Stencil think i may need to look at getting Pan Pastels they look like fun to use
Ok my friend, I learned two things watching this video, 1. how to use Pan Pastels and 2 that Orly has designed stencils for Stencil Girl. I love what you did and love the stencil. Thanks for another great tutorial.
So lovely the way you used the stencil to make such a meaningful pattern. Very inspiring.
I am going to order some pan pastels what you have created with Orly’s stencil makes me want to start stencilling thanks for the tutorial
You crack me up saying you are “patience impaired!”
Love the way you chose one element of the stencil and repeated the design.
And the blue palette is great! Love that it is mounted on blue fabric with frayed edges.
One of the reasons I really enjoy your work, Carolyn, is because you are patience-impaired! I identify completely. The color choice was perfect and I had no idea you could seal pan pastels with a Gelli. Thanks!
Love Orly’s stencils and this was a fun use of them! Love the use of Panpastels too.
Thanks for the chance to win these cool tools!
Wow loved what you did with Orly’s new design.
How funny that I watched your video and thought, dang she has the coolest stencils! The next thing I see is a chance to win one!?!? Whoop whoop! Great video and blog.
This was great video and like how to make the pattern. Thanks for sharing
I really like how this page turned out. So simple (that’s the great part) and so fun. Going to hunt for something similiar and give it a try. Of course, winning a stencil would mean I wouldn’t have to hunt. LOL . Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
I love this technique. And oh My Goodness, that stencil is AWESOME!!!! I’m a stencil junkie so I’m always interested in new stencil techniques. Thanks so much for the post. I need to get to my art room now!!!
Have a great day!
fabric and pan pastels?! I love it!!!!
I’m hooked on your videos, Carolyn, and now I can tell I’m going to be hooked on these stencils! Thanks so much.
Carolyn, you always suprise, nice pattern, I would definitely think it’s comes like a stencil, but know it’s only one small piece repeated. Wow!
Lovely artwork! So fun to see all the different ways of using Orly’s stencils. Thanks for the chance to win one of Orly’s stencils!
Always LOVE your videos, Carolyn! You all have such great ideas for the stencils. Sure wish I could win them. I’ve never won anything!
Never thought to use the stencils this way to create a beautiful pattern ! Great job!
Hey, Carolyn — love pan pastels and how you’ve used them with Orly’s new stencil. I will definitely try this!
love your use of pan pastels with Orly’s new stencils. very nice!
Love these stencils. Also like the pan pastels with them….
This is so cool! I love the way you only used part of the stencil… and the repetition is awesome! And how good to PanPastels look here? I’m inspired to try more things with my stencil now 🙂
Wow! Great tutorial! So much so as I love using PanPAstels.
Nice use of that stencil. They ARE so easy to use on the stencils, one of my favorite ways then the gelli plate fixative after that – thanks to you. xox
Thank you for the video
Pan Pastels did not immediately come to mind with these stencils, but your video does a wonderful job of showing the possibilities.
I love this project. You can really see the arm bones. I have the pan pastels but haven’t done much with them. I’ll have to get them out and try them on a stencil.
thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work Carolyn. And how I do love that shade of blue!
Simple. Fun. Effective. I like the blue fabric behind the card, too.
love how you repeated a portion of the stencil. Well, duh, I need to think outside the box more often, Thanks Carolyn!
Fun, fun video.

You make such beautiful things! I have gotten used to looking at “parts” of a stencil, but never thought about trying to make a pattern! Cool. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn’t wait to see what you did because I am so there with you on my color palette. I am trying to break out but haven’t yet. I love the pattern you made and love this stencil. So many possibilities. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you Carolyn, for your contribution! You NEVER EVER disappoint – even your ‘oops’s’ are redeemed! I love your frayed cloth to frame your art, very nice!
*hugs*
Wonderful artwork, Carolyn! That shade of blue is soft and fresh!
Fabulous!
I love Orly’s new stencils !

Turned out great, Carolyn. I love how casual you are with your creativity….I’ve got Pan Pastels, and stencils, so, hey, why not give this a try? Thanks again for being so generous with your talent.
Thank you for yet again reminding me to get my Pan pastels out and USE THEM. Duh….. Great stencil BTW

Very cool stencil and I love how you used the pan pastels with it! Thanks for sharing all the details with us.
Lovely work, Carolyn. I feel Pan Pastels in my future!
Your artwork is so inspiring. Love using the pan pastels for us “patience impaired”.
OMG! So tickled with your video about sealing Pan Pastels with gelli. I would have never thought about that! Great VoiceOver, too. Have subscribed and looking forward to viewing more.
Great videos!! Thanks for the inspiration. I love these stencils!
I love Orly’s new stencils. I can think of so many possibilities to use them. I ordered three of them already this morning.
I love these new stencils! Congratulations Orly! I loved the demo on using Pan Pastels! I am definitely going to try this
How fun, Carolyn! I’m really liking the Pan Pastels, as well. That stencil repeats pretty well.
Love the shade of blue you used. this would look fantastic framed and hung on a wall. I have no pictures on the wall of my apartment, so I need to do some art to hang. Thanks for all the fun ideas
I too have pan pastels and rarely use them, what a great demo with using stencils!
thanks Carolyn! very cool, loved the stencil too! tfs would love to win 🙂
I’ve never used pan pastels but you make them look interesting. I have pebbles chalks that i do use all the time. I hope to see more use of the drippings or cobweb/seaweed stencils. not into bones so much. thanks for sharing
