Stencils and Faux Finishes by Terri Lisa Hoover - Terri is doing a nautical mural around the pool in her home in Florida.  She has used many designs from Red Lion Stencils, and incorporates them into her hand painted murals.  " I have been painting professionally since 1999 when I took a Faux class from Rebecca Parsons.  Pictured here is the latest mural I am working on, this photo shows the Sunset Sailboat in the harbor" Richard helped his daughter Terri by embellishing the Snowy Egret.  We recommend finishing a stencil with free-hand strokes, it adds a more realistic look to the finished design!

	"I stenciled once about 15 years ago, some geraniums (or maybe it was ivy??) in a pot around the ceiling of a small room.  I guess I kind of dislike total structure, so modifying the plant was something I did, as with the flamboyant windows.  The flamboyant was much more intensive .. took much more time .. but is also much prettier." Sharon used our "Flamboyan Branch" to create beautiful arches over these windows in her B&B in St. Croix - creating a framed view of the ocean for her guests to enjoy! www.sailandbreakfast.com
	"My Mom has yellow tile in her bathroom and we really didn’t like it.  The banana palm had the perfect touch of yellow to update the room without tearing out the tile.  I  use a sponge roller to get the lighter layer of green on.  This saves a lot of time.  It is a really great stencil!
