Mastering Stencilling And Furniture Art: The Secret Is Practice!

They say it takes 10'000 hours to master a skill. I don't know if that is totally true but I have probably spent more than that in my time mastering my art and I still practice all the time. It's how I take a concept or an idea and try it on something before I go big. In this video I show you my practice piece, what I leant, what I did wrong and how I then took that learning and made what I wanted.

Here are all the links I mention in the video.

This is another brilliant and beautiful concept. Colors, stencils and inlay choice. Indian, Bohemian, chinizy and cottage core all rolled into one cohesive piece. A Happy addition to any room. LOVE IT🥰

Yep every weekend is Marley Magical. I wasn’t sure about the white piece at the time but Lel knew what it needed…why did I ever doubt her talent? Martyn is always shiny and the cutest…. Have a good weekend guys! I don’t have a Facebook or instagram but I may have to get them both.😂

Wowza! 🤩🤩🤩. My fav color pallet! Those rose molds on that border totally make the piece. Gorgeous. And your membership piece is extraordinary. I love you guys.

Hmmm. I do practise. But not nearly enough. And not with that playing attitude that can lead...anywhere. Such good advice and sorely needed. Thanks so much Lel. And it's great to see you feeling well again!❤
