My Silhouette cutter was my friend for making my Thanksgiving decorations. They were made from paper (you can see them here). I loved the pattern in the turkeys so I decided to use them as a stencil with spray inks. I only used part of the turkey as a stencil so it didn’t scream Thanksgiving. I have had a blast just playing – perfect way to spend a Saturday during Art Every Day Month!
While making the decorations I tried watercolor paper in the Sillouette. Didn’t cut all the way through the paper but I couldn’t throw it out. Leftovers are such fun to play with because there is NO FEAR of ruining, messing up, damaging, wasting, etc. -it is just exploration!
Just a bit of brown spray ink and the design popped out! I think I am going to have fun exploring how my Silhouette can create backgrounds!
This looks like such fun plus it is so pretty. One of my goals is to relax and have fun with what I am doing. Thank you for sharing what you are creating. I love meeting new people and learning what they are making. AEDM has opened a whole new world of artists to me. Have a wonderful weekend.
I love that watercolor paper effect! And the idea to use the turkey as a stencil–what fun!! Your Thanksgiving decorations were just beautiful!
Don’t you love “mistakes” that turn out so good!
So fun to play like that!
The silouette souns like an interesting tool. Can you design your own templates with it?
Yes you can design your own – I tend to be a bit too impulsive to do that since the shapes are just a dollar – right now they are 50 cents a shape on sale.
Transforming mistakes is always fun. Like you say, they’re already a mistake so you don’t have to worry about messing up–LOL!
Love the idea of using part of the turkey as a stencil. That really turned out nicely, too.
Have a nice rest of the weekend! 😉
I love that you used your turkey decorations in your art work. What a great variety of looks you were able to create! Fun ideas and turning memories into awesome art! Love it! 🙂 Kris
