Freezer Paper Stencils
I'm experimenting with freezer paper stencils on fabric. I want some original fabric designs for some upcoming projects and have tried screen-printing, but I don't have a usable screen. Making freezer paper stencils is a simple process, although cutting the stencil out of the freezer paper is somewhat time-consuming. I liked the results and was surprised that I did not have any problems with the ink seeping under the paper.
I first learned about the process in Lena Corwin's Printing by Hand. This is the best book that I have found on all types of printing by hand, including handmade stamps, store bought stamps, freezer paper, contact paper, mylar, screen printing, etc.)
Here are several designs I printed: (sorry for the wrinkles...)
