I’m “borrowing” a few projects for a while as no real time to do my own. I first saw this in Lena Corwin’s Printing By Hand book which you must get if you’re into any kind of stamp, stencil, screenprint creating. It’s great; it’s inspired me lots and these holidays I even started teaching myself how to screenprint.
Somewhere along the line I managed to find a chapter of her book online with one of my fave projects in it: suzani-style stencils, made from contact paper. Oh yes, no need to waste the leftover contact from new-schoolbook-covering; use it to dress up a piece of furniture or wall. Follow this link to all the how-tos as well as downloads of the stencils used here so you can get this look yourself.
Want more Lena? Of course you do – she’s brilliant. Check out her blog here, visit her Flickr here buy her book here from the Book Depository (because it has free worldwide shipping – yay!)
Psst: The cute wooden birds in the image are a classic design by Kristian Vedel. You can get them here from the MoMA store, which is a very addictive store I might add.

How great is that?! Love it!
Thanks for the info about Lena – great blog too – and I’ve already printed off the ‘how to’ and think I know just where I can give it a go!
This is scary, I was looking online last night for stencil designs so I could do some stencilling work over the weekend! Now here it is. Thank you so much.
How did I miss this post!!?!? This is gorrrrr-geous! Love. Ugh, don’t talk to me about stencils though. Bought a “feather” one for Anoushka’s nursery and, well, not so happy ending. SO fiddly. And wouldn’t stick to the wall. Nightmare. Complete with angry-at-wife-for-wasting-money husband.

When people develop a pimple on their genitals many think the worst, and believe it is a sign of an STD such as herpes. As a result they get worried, but due to the location of the pimple many suffer in silence because they are too embarrassed to get it checked out. On the other hand some people notice pimple like bumps on their genitals, brush it off as a minor rash or pimple, and do nothing about it, when it may actually be an STD. The best thing to do is speak to your doctor as he will be able to give you a proper diagnosis. If an individual does actually have herpes they will develop blisters on their penis, now these can be mistaken for pimples, however there is a way to tell whether these have occurred as a result of genital herpes. If it is herpes these blisters will be accompanied by flu like symptoms. Now that you know the relationship between herpes and pimples lets look at what can cause the latter to appear on the genitals.
