This is a great way to use Duralar!
Great demo, Francine! Thank you!
This was so much fun to watch! I'm going to have to give it a try. You have incredibly steady hands!
Aaaah thanks so much, Audrey. ♥
Thanks so much Francine! I had no idea you could cut stencils like that with Graphic Dura-Lar. I'm hooked!

Your instructions are easy to follow, the sound and video is professional. Very inspirational.
Thank you so much for your kind remarks. ♥
So many great ideas this week! Thank you so much!!

Thank you!!! Do you need a mailing address?
Uh oh, another purchase to be made so i can make stencils! So excellent! Thanks Francine!
Thank you for your kind remarks...I know...we can never have too many art supplies...right! ♥
Great presentation. I am glad I could learn about stencil making and I have never made a stencil before this. Great artwork too.
Kathy thank you for your kind remarks. I am glad you enjoyed the presentation. ♥
♥ Thanks, Kathy for your kind remarks.
Love the dragonfly work that you showed.
Love this use of dura-lar! Thank you!
Never thought of making my own stencils. What a great idea for the Graphix DuraLar, that I already use. I love how your dragonfly came out and the other great ideas that you shared. Thanks so much, Francine, for sharing your expertise and talent with us! 💗💙💗
Great idea using a stencil with acrylics over the alcohol ink. The DuraLar paper seems very versatile. Thank you, Francine, for sharing.
Thank you for your kind remarks, Hilary. ♥
@@kathythompson2042 it really is so versatile. My pleasure. ♥
I haven't used my stencil cutter yet but will after seeing this video. Thanks!
♥
Oo nice…a bight thanks…never really thought about using stencils off to the studio I got to give it a try❤️❤️❤️
♥
You’ve give me some great ideas!
♥
Wonderful demo, I’m definitely getting one of those stencil cutters
That’s awesome. I love working with stencils. A much easier method of making stencils!
Thanks Linda! Yes...stencils are fun and can add a lot of interest.♥
Wonderful new idea! Never tried that before, but the effect is stunning! Great tutorial, logic and seemingly easy, will see if that is true with me!
Thank you for your kind remarks. I am sure you will do just great!♥
Lovely! Time to get some stencils!
♥
Delightful inspiration, thank you Francine.
♥
Beautiful dragonfly! Thanks for the demo
♥
Wow!! What a fabulous idea!! Thank you for showing us how to make our own stencils out of Dura-lar ... who knew?!?! Great presentation, Francine ... thank you! ❤
Thank you so much! ♥
Very cool! Looks a lot easier to use that stencil cutter than an xacto knife.
Great demo! The painting is beautiful!
Kimberly, thank you so much for your kind remarks. I admire your art so much!♥
@@francinedufourjones5316 ❤️❤️❤️
I've not been one for using stencils in my artwork but your demonstration has inspired me. I never thought of making my own stencils but there are some indigenous designs that I would love to have as stencils. Thank you for a thorough, calming presentation, Francine.
Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad you were inspired. ♥
Thank you for that great idea🤩 I learn a lot of new things every day. And I can't wait for trying everything😁👍
♥
Great idea for creating stencils! Grafix seems to be the perfect medium for stencils. I love this idea! Thanks so much for the demonstration and displaying art using stencils.
Cecyle, thank you for your kind remarks. I hope you give it a go. My pleasure!♥
Beatiful, Francine. You are such a good teacher. I love your stencil dragonfly painting.
Thank you Sheryl that means a lot coming from you. You set a high standard by example!♥
Great presentation, Francine! I always enjoy your artwork and classes. I've been making my own stencils for years but picked up a few new tips from you today. Thank you. 🐝 💖 🦋
Thanks, Sandy. I always enjoy your presentations also; they are so professional! ♥
@@francinedufourjones5316, thanks so much. I really appreciate hearing that, especially from you. 👩🎨 🎨 💕
Just ordered mine, I have been using stencils with gesso to add 3d effects to my paintings, and wanted to make my own, because too often what I invision is not available, thank you!
Never thought about creating my own stencils. That came out lovely. Thanks Francine.
Thank you so much.♥
I haven't tried acrylics with ai yet. Looks great! Thank you!
Well I guess I will need to look at purchasing a stencil cutter. This is so cool!
♥
So cool!!! At the start I was trying to fit stencil money into my budget -- I never would have thought of making g them! 😅
♥
I never thought of using that to make a stencil! Thanks for the demo!
I always learn something new from you. Thanks so much for sharing your talents💕
Thank you, Julie. That means a lot to me. ♥
Cool, thank you so much.
♥
Love your dragonflies!
♥
Great new ideas to take our inking to a whole new level!
Watching you add the finishing details was so calming. Just what I needed after a hectic day. I'm excited knowing how I can create my own stencils and once again want to spend money🤩 Thank you Francine for doing a super job demonstrating these techniques!
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you share some of your stencil art. :)
Thanks so much for the stencil demo! Durlar is amazing!
You are so welcome...my pleasure. Dura-Lar IS amazing!♥
what is the white pen used for detail on the dragonfly?
Thank you, Francine. Loved the presentation. May I ask what was the name of the white pen you were using? That is probably the only material I do not have.
Great idea to make your own stencil. Love it.
Love your stencil paintings! Great presentation, Francine!
Ellen, thank you so much.♥
lovely painting and fabulous techniques. now I have to dig out my hot knife..I also love how you used your acrylic colors to make the dragonfly stand out!
Hey Teri, thanks so much for your kind remarks. I love all the mixed media you do. I also loved your dolphin demonstration!♥
I love all your paintings. Thanks so much for this idea!
Thank you so much for your kind remarks. I am glad you like the idea. ♥
Love your demonstration! I’m ready to make stencils to incorporate into my watercolors.
Woohoo...I hope you share your watercolors with stencils.♥
Thank you Francine, I have tried making stencils in the past but I didn’t know about the hot cutter. I just used an xacto knife to cut with. I can see where the hot cutter would make a much cleaner and smoother edge. I will be shopping! Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for your kind remarks...enjoy the hot cutter!♥
Never thought of making my own stencils! Love it, thanks.
Oh good ...give it a go and see what you think. ♥
Fantastic! Great tips, taping! I’ve got a stencil cutter… you’ve lit a fire Francine ❤️🚀 Thanks 😊
Denise, thank you for your kind remarks. You are so creative...I cannot wait to see what all you create!♥
Thanks Francine. Good info! We have a local festival coming up in April and I've been looking for something I might could offer as a class during the festival. This has inspired me to maybe make some stencils and let folks make a simple quick painting. I could do a dragonfly and butterfly.
Great Patricia...sounds like a fun project to use in your festival! ♥
I always thought it would be difficult to make my own stencils because I would have to use flimsy paper and scissors. I am so glad I watched this because I didn’t know that there was a heating tool that could cut it into a stencil. I absolutely love this project and I’m going to try it. With the Dura Lar.
Gorgeous! That Dura-Bright really seems to get nice, smooth results. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Thank you so much. I look forward to seeing some of your inspirations created. ♥
I’ve been planning on making my own stencils and this demo was very helpful! Thank you!
Love the idea of making your own stencils! The Grafix craft plastic can be used for this, too. I don't have a stencil cutter, but I do have dies & a Big Shot to create stencils that way, too :)
Very pretty! That was so interesting. I want to try making my own stencils now. Thank you!
Wow.. I had no idea you could do so much with Duralar! Thank you for the great demonstration ❤
Yes, Dura-Lar is really versatile! I am glad you enjoyed it. ♥
I love this! I’ve been wanting to make my own and I even have the stuff. I just wasn’t sure where I wanted to start, and so it’s sits in a closet. Thank you so much. This was so helpful and your work is gorgeous!
loved your finishing touches! and the music....what/who was the music?
Thanks for your kind remarks. I am sorry but I cannot tell you the music I think it came with Filmora by Wondershare app for editing videos.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing! I wonder if I can use my old wood burning tool to cut the stencils?
Maybe...it seems like the same thing.♥
Great video, I always wondered how stencils were cut.
Well, this is one way. :)♥
I have never imagined making my own stencils, until today. I was totally intimidated, but your articulate and helpful tips convinced me to give it try it in the Grafix Duralar. The possibilities are bouncing around my head with hummingbirds in the lead. Thank you for being such a compassionate and comprehensive instructor in my Alcohol Ink journey
I have been a long-term fan of Graphix Dura-bright for its ability to go back to such a clean white but couldn't foresee ever actually using the Duralar myself, much less making a stencil!
Were you using a Fanastix for the delicate white veins in the wings?
I am humbled by your kind words. Thank you. I am delighted hummingbirds are bouncing around...:) I do hope you will share your creations with us. ♥
What did you use to do the white details? It really made it pop and come together. Love it! Thank you for the demonstration! Can hardly wait to try it:)
This was so helpful and inspiring! What did you use to seal it?
Thank you for this stencil cutting demo, can you saywhat the pen is you are using please.
Does dura-lar work well with dies? What mil is best for stencil and that can be die cut?
Would a Cricut cut a stencil out of the paper?
Cricut could cut a stencil but probably would need the deep blade for the Dura lar.
Love it!
I have used the cricut to cut the black and opaque craft plastic from duralar. I just picked a setting for thick cardstock. I just used the normal blade, I didn't have the deep cut so I just went for it.
@@cathythestampwhisperer1020 Thanks for the info!
I do not have a Cricut cutter so I cannot say for sure... but I can imagine it would do a great job. ♥
