: Looking forward to your results!
One of the types of stencil film/paper was slightly tacky which would
probably stick pretty easily to the skin. I will have to try it out
but you might even be able to burn through several layers of this
film when making the stencils, thereby making several at once.
Good idea for the celtic patterns...those interlocking things are
really difficult to do and a stencil might help (even if it is
cheating). I suppose I would have to charge less for designs done
with a stencil...it would probably be worth it since it would take me
less time.
I'll let you all know.
