So what did I do instead? I designed and made a stencil. Because, well that was going to help. Not.<\/p>\n<p>And then because I really liked the way the stencil came out, I of course, had to pull out my Gelli Arts Printing plate, and try it. And then because I really liked one of the mono prints I made, I ,of course, had to scan it in to the computer. And then because I wanted to see how it looked layerd, I, of course, had to bring it into Photoshop and play with it.<\/p>\n<p>I, of course, didn&#8217;t have to do ANY of those things. In fact, I shouldn&#8217;t have been doing any of those things. But I am glad I did, because I really liked the way the stencil and the prints came out. It was just like the kid&#8217;s storybook- &#8220;If You Give a Moose a Muffin&#8221;.
