boy versus girl designs

[Sherry]

Do you have a preference?  I prefer to paint girl designs and have to always be mindful of offering an equal amount of designs that will appeal to boys too.  I could sit all day and do girly designs.

I have more girl designs than boy designs only because it is hard for me to come up with fun designs that boys like.  I have recently added the tire tread stencil and they love it.  I have never used a stencil before, but this one is a winner.  You can add some things to make it fmore un.  I am thinking about getting the "Brick" stencil.  I have seen people do nice work with painting names over the bricks and boys seem to like words painted on them.

Me too.   I just recently started using the Tire Tread stencil too.  I don't normally use stencils, but this one is so fast and a pretty neat one for boys.  I'm still getting the hang of keeping it in the same spot as I sponge the color on all the way down the face.  I add a bit of red and smear it a little bit to make it look a bit realistic.

I'd like to see what they do with the brick design, I don't think I've seen that yet.

I am trying to get a photo of the brick design for you.  I saw it a few weeks ago and I think I know who did the painting.  I have sent an e-mail to see if she will let me post it as her design.

o.k., great.  I hope so.

I haven't used any stencils yet. Are they hard to use? I've seen the tire track one done. It looked good. I don't see how the stencil can conform to the face so tight to achieve clean lines.
