And it is at this time that I realize that I never posted pictures of my most splendiferous paint job ever. Which really is a shame, because way back here when I participated in one of Michelle Ward's Crusades, I promised evidence of using my first hand-carved stencil. Well, the evidence has been tampered with. Let me explain.
I did indeed use my Narnia stencil, and I used it on a pair of jeans. I also stamped and painted ivy (with an ivy leaf stamp I carved for the project) around it. And I wore these glorious jeans to the midnight showing of Prince Caspian.
There's ivy on the left leg, too, to balance it all out.
One problem.
I didn't heat set the paint.
Yeah, it faded in the wash. Majorly. So now I'm finally getting around to repainting it. And this time, I will post pictures when I'm finished!

Love, love, love the jeans! where is there a Narnia exhibit? that is so cool! Have a blast!
Glad to see ya posting again.
carrie - these are awesome! bravo! hey - try spray paint. seriously. i do it all the time and it doesn't fade too bad - in fact, washing it softens the crustiness. how was the exhibit?
