Stencil art

In photoshop I followed Mr. Sands' instructions and used treshold, which changes the black/white contrast on your picture.  Mine was of a temple, and a lot of people had said it doesn't look like one...  I think the positive/negative space worked out kind of well for me.  I cut out the black and not the white in my picture.  For my collage I just stuck a bunch of similar pictures in bunches.  It's composition was mostly made of random stuff.  When using the xacto knife, I found it highly annoying to cut through the material and I was thankful that I did not make a more complicated stencil like Brooke's tiger.  The spray paint on the stencil was the most fun part to me.  I used pink, blue, and white on mine.  The backround was red before I spray painted it.
