Simple Background Stencil

    

I wandered up and down the aisles of my local Hobby Lobby looking for unexpected sources to create textured patterns for backgrounds. I found a roll of fabric mesh in the wedding section. I'm not sure how brides use this product, but it makes a lovely background when painted over with acrylic glaze (or watercolors). Allow to dry and you have interesting texture for a journal page...or future art extravaganza.
