I'm obviously on a bit of a stencil groove at the moment. When I was looking around the commercially available stencils this morning, I recognized many from a stencil book, called
Arts & Crafts Stencilling, originally published in 1910, by W.G. Sutherland. It has been reprinted by Dover. Frankly, I was surprised how many of the stencils are available from this book. It is obvious
The Stencil Library in UK pulled many designs from this out-of-copyright publication.
While I am not going to take the time to scan the individual stencils from the book itself, I will link where you can buy the stencils I've found to be commercially available.

There may be more available, but those were the stencils I recognized. I really appreciate having a readily available source for period designs.
I love stencils but my walls have a bumpy finish. Until then, I'll just covet your stenciling.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know how you feel. My walls are pretty bumpy too. It can be a challenge to deal with it, but putting adhesive on the stencils helps a lot.
