Stencils and Molding Paste

A couple of years ago I bought a handful of stencils ... and I keep forgetting that I have them! The other day I came across them while looking for something else and decided to experiment using molding paste with them.
One result you can see in this blog post from a few days ago.  And now again. I used the first stencil with molding paste and it worked beautifully.
After applying some paint I worked light molding paste (which I had tinted with acrylic paint) into two additional stencils.

The result is really fun and rather busy. It needs something else. Maybe a focal point.
I'm just not sure yet. Hopefully today will reveal the next step...

      I always forget I have them because I don't use them much. They do add a lot though when I remember. :)

      I think so, too. Although I still don't know where I go from here with this piece...

    Outstanding with the molding paste! I have to use it more, I've nearly forgot I have it. Exciting painting!

      Thanks, Viola! I'm with you - I keep forgetting not only about the stencils, but also about all the acrylic mediums I have!
