Well worth the money

In recent months, I have become interested in stenciling. Not traditional stenciling, but new texturing techniques, using plaster. Although this book does not cover plaster stenciling. It does give a wide variety of stenciling ideas, that can easily be adapted to texture stenciling. I recommend the purchase of this book, it is well worth the money.

It's cheap, adaptable, and easily painted over- and can be as individual as you want!
