| Arranged for a story, here I used the stencils to keep ink off the paper |

| Different stencil, same idea, except I worked to get lots of texture in the inked part |

| Here I flipped the stencil from above and inked the stencil |
It was a full evening in the print shop. I really enjoyed the added interest of the stencils and the possibility of creating stories with the shapes.
The two "cartoon characters" are sketches I did from a live college production of "Cinderella." The bustles made me laugh!

Your use of stencils is a clever way to free up the use of the monotype as a "storyboard". While the stencils tell the story, the textures of the printmaking lend a different feeling with each change. Endless possibilities!
creative! I can't wait to see what comes off the press next!
Sam: stencils add a new and exciting element to monotype and my time was too short in the atelier. Look at this artist's work and you'll see some amazing stencil results! Marilyn Maricle is a Portland artist and she does amazing work! http://www.marilynmaricle.com/artwork.html
Thanks, Celeste! The press work has been thrilling ... I might have to get one of my own!
