What are you looking to do with the stencil? use with glazes, under glazes,
impress into clay??? Obviously many ways to use them. I have cut stencils =
for
quite some time. If you want to do your own there is a hot stencil gun that =
cuts
through thin or thickish stencil material. I can dig you up the catalogue I =
got
it from, Cherry tree I think, or have seen in hobby shops and some quilting
shops. It is similar to a soldering iron but not as hot. You can use the =
clear
plastic sheets used on overhead projectors or overexposed xrays if you know
someone that will part with them. They recycle them now so they are harder =
to
come by.The latter is great for rolling a design into clay. Tape your =
drawing
underneath and cut away. You will need to redraw some pictures so the design
stays connected to the plastic, ie doing a bicycle wheel you need to enlarge=
the
spokes and leave connected to the wheel or circle or else the center will =
drop
out. If it is only clock numbers they should be easy.
If this all sounds too complicated contact me off line and we can =
discuss it
further or I can do one for you.
