Praise for the hardcover edition:
"The ultimate reference for stenciling."
- Booklist
With the simple stencil -- a template that lets you easily create a painted shape on a surface and allows you to repeat the exact pattern wherever and as often as you wish -- you can transform and beautify just about any surface from boxes to walls to floors.
The Complete Stenciling Handbook is a compendium of the latest techniques, tools, equipment and materials. The book presents innovative methods and products that have taken stenciling from a rustic craft to a breathtaking art form. The book features a wide range of step-by-step projects illustrated with color photographs.
Buckingham comprehensively covers the materials needed for successful stenciling projects and explains the qualities of a variety of media such as the differences between latex and oil paints. Clear, easy-to-read text simplifies the often confusing world of materials such as additives, matting agents, glazes, stains, thinners, finish coats and more. The book also includes instructions about when and how to use applicators such as brushes, rollers, sponges and airbrushes.

The Complete Stenciling Handbook is the best and most comprehensive guide for crafters from beginner to advanced.

I wanted to write a book that would become every stenciler's best friend. The result is The Complete Stenciling Handbook. Over the many years that I have been working with this craft -- writing, teaching, experimenting and designing -- I've been asked just about every imaginable stencil-related question. The answers to all of them are in this book.
No other stencil book contains as much information as this one on so many aspects of stencilling, from mediums, to surfaces to techniques. At the same time, it caters to every level of practitioner -- from the complete beginner looking for basic instructions to the accomplished stenciler wanting advanced techniques. It does not assume any previous knowledge that is not covered somewhere between the covers.
I have tried to be clear and straightforward, so that whether you're looking for a nugget of information on using gold leaf or a comprehensive approach to trompe l'oeil drapery, you'll have no trouble understanding the explanations.
This book gives you everything you need to just have fun with stencilling or to make the transition from hobbyist to professional.
