Anyone know a good way of getting them as one piece. I have a photo i have made black and white but i am having trouble getting it to be one so that i could print and then cut the stencil. Maybe i should do multiple parts? any ideas? |

It's gonna be hard to do... Impossible in one piece as it is now. Maybe in parts from surroundings to the centre (face) assuming it's the black part the one you will spray on the wall. The tip is that any non-coloured part can be floatin' without touch the corners... BTW, a very nice one! |

Print it out on an A4 sticker and stick that to the back of your new laptop instead of spray painting it? :) Incidentally, for cutting out stencils, you can get a special sort of scalpel (I can't remember what it's called, but I have one); it's basically a very fine pointed scalpel blade on a ball bearing mechanism that allows the blade to rotate freely through 360 degrees. Much easier than a normal scalpel. |

Yeh, i think that's either going to take multiple stencils or a bit of judicious editing in photoshop if it's got to be a one-layer piece. Btw, stick it on perspex and then cut, you'll get a cleaner edge and it doesn't matter so much that you get very thin strands, like the bit separating the arc from the figure... detailed/small stencils are quite difficult on card and they get fucked up in the rain much easier. |

I suppose it depends on what you want to do with it, but you could get a similar effect with a rubber stamp or , and it would be easier than cutting a stencil. |

yeah i was gonna cut on paper first then i was gonna use and old x-ray (as i have no perspects). i am going to cut my own leaf design into the circle in the background. its prolly gonna take a few hours to cut, i dont have one of those fancy scalpels (they sound great ceri) but i have your average craft scalpel. oh and i wanstb gonna spray it on the alptop but now you say that .... hehe yeah i think it will be nice i'll just have to print it out and do some manual hand editing (i can't do it in photoshop). I'll stick the bigger one up in a min and a the original. |

Are you serious, man? Lino cutting is so much harder than cutting a stencil... takes ages to get something looking halfway decent. And i always gouge fuck out of myself with that stupid sharpened digging thing, gahhhhh. Maybe i'm just shit. |

HA, was just about to dump the stencil revolution link.. Check out the techniques on the site but if you don't have any of the software mentioned in the tutorials try and print out the B/W image you have and use a texta to fill in all the white islands and make it work as a stencil. Also if your only using the stencil a couple of times just use paper. Its way easier. Or I could do it for you for say $25 ;). hehe. PS. Ceri JC, could you tell me more, or link me to this stencil scalple? |

cut a semi circle then align it. it saves alot of time. or of course just cut an almost full circle until the points where the buddha is sitting. and try to get some double sided tape. and use threshold on photoshop. i did a skating one with 7 different levels thanks to threshold. twas great. and never let anyone tell you how to work. |

Certainly. *A quick rummage in the art room later...* Right, it's called a "Polydron Gyro-Cut", Polydron are the manufacturer. If I remember correctly we bought it off a travelling art supplies salesman. It works really well, basically you hold it like a pen, like this: |

The bit on the head rotates through 360 degress in one plain and the tapered blade means it's only a fine point (rather than edge) that touches the material being cut. As a result it's great for flowing lines, without getting the '50p' effect of curves being made up of lots of straight lines, as you can when using a normal scalpel. The blade on it is brilliant too; must be 10 years old now and it's still as sharp as it needs to be! Best of luck finding one; my Graphics teacher loved it, but could never find one and the web doesn't throw up too many hits. |

It's amazing that I've not seen another one/clone if it. It is such a useful art tool. You can cut out really complex shapes with a lot of ins and outs on the edges in literally seconds, whereas before it'd take minutes. It's obviously not specifically for stencils (although I've used it for that), so it's not like it's some really niche product. |

Here it is as one solid, you'll definately need Ceris tool |

Seems like you can buy those gyro-scalpel thingies from the , they're under "resources & books". Only a tenner too, might invest in one. |

That's the one! Oh and incidentally, I'm left handed and as they say it is just as easy to use for left handers to use. Anyone who does get one; be warned, you'll find yourself absent-mindedly "doodling" with it like you would a pen. Be careful, I've cut a lot of tables doing it on single sheets of paper with no board underneath. ;-) |

it looks kinda hard to use what with the cutting point being so far from where your hand is or where a pen nib would normally be |
