i & \ CRAFT Stenciling and stitchery As fast as candlewicking is to do, stenciling can help you speed work time even further. By painting a background design on your can dlewicking project, you’ll have less space to stitch and less time needed for stitchery. The “Americana Stencil” folkart design, by American artist Charles Wysoki, shows one way to combine stenciling with stitchery. The design, available as a pillow or picture kit through the address below, comes complete with colored threads for stitching the candlewicking details. In the Americana kit shown, the stencil design is already screen printed on the fabric. If you wish to stencil your own design on a candlewicking project, however, the technique is easy to learn. Stenciling, like candlewicking, has its roots in colonial times. In America’s early years, craft speople wandered from town to town, painting floors, furniture and walls in exchange for room and board. Since they share a colonial heritage, stenciling and can dlewicking work naturally well rn Fertilizer...
