I'll tell you more later in the post,on to a few pictures of my upcycled doily.
So,I have an unhealthy stash(hoarder) of vintage doilies(heehee) and decided these were perfect for Gwen's new stencils!
First I gave the doily two coats of gesso on each side
Next I used the Brass paint and the 6x6 Fleur-di-lis stencil
Yummy already!
Then out came the fiber paste and I mixed a batch with Teal paint,
and used the 9x12 all over design,omitting the center design when knifing the paste through
beautiful! ahhhh not done yet!
Next out came my new Pixie powders and with water,I colored the lace edging and then made a wash of the same and colored the background
So lovely! but I think it needs more...
Red Wine paint this time and some fancy detailed work
at some point I used Gold to paint in the center of the fleur-de-lis design and also a bit on the overall designs- to make that Wine color show even more.
Then I reintroduced the overall stencil over the center, just using a sponge with the Teal again.
I will tell you,Gwen designed these this collection to layer perfectly with one another.
I called it done here~kind of Bohemian looking isn't it?!
I do love the way this doily turned out and have already started a few others!

Absolutely gorgeous, the colours are beautiful and I love the trim. Tracy ❤️❤️
Beautiful! The colours are wonderful, and the red addition is just perfect!
Love your bohemian doily! StencilClub has the best stencil designs!
A fantastic doily , created, dear Jackie.
I love how you mixed the different stencils, to end up with this amazing creation, in wonderful tones.Such beautiful work .
Hugs and a lovely rest of your Sunday, to you. xoxo , Dorthe
Wow Jackie, this is really over the top, just fantastic! Well done! Hugs, Valerie
Beautiful! Delicious colors, and love the way you fit the different stencils together
I thought the vintage doily looked good after the bronze and teal, but adding the pink was the icing on the cake. It is gorgeous, and I think it is a prime example of the Victorian era's over the top decorating.
I am simply thrilled about the idea to create this! This is a doily now that caught my heart. So unique ! You cannot fail to be impressed by your style and I loved to see the steps dear Jackie!
WONDERFUL!
I wish you a very happy July!
Thinking of you and happy to have you as an artsy blogger friend!
Much love from

This is so gorgeous, Jackie! You have inspired me to make some textiles using stencils. I say the same thing about Gwen's stencils. Each one is better than the last.
Beautiful!
Kate
Jackie, Hmmmm, Never thought about stenciling doilies. You just amaze me with your creativity. You did Gwen’s stencils proud. From one of those crazy like minded stencil nuts (oops, I meant soul 😂)
Omg your fabric piece looks so gorgeous. It is really a dream. I like how you placed the motifs and your choice of colors. Great Artwork!
Dear Greetings
Sabine
What a beautiful use of the stencil, Jackie. You have created a unique heirloom. xx
This is brilliant in so many ways! Altering a doilies??? You amazed me, really. And the result is stunning. And...you used those shimmering Pixies! I think you are enjoying them, aren't you ;-)?
what I admire in you Jackie is that you have stashes of things but you also dare to use them. And invariably you make something beautiful out of it. You're right, these stencils are gorgeous, but you also know how to use them, and I really like how you layered them. And I so love the colours you use. Another master piece! Wishing you a wonderful creative week dear Jackie! Hugs xxx
Hi Jackie. Great project and always good to use unloved stuff that would otherwise....well stay unloved. I very much like Stencil Girl products and can sometimes get the stencils here in the UK. Have fun and keep up the good work. Pleased my efforts this week made you smile too. Much love, Angela xXx
Oh Jackie there is no such thing as an unhealthy addiction when it makes us happy. It is clear to see that you love them as they are decorated so beautifully.
I really wish Gwen's stencils were more widely available in the UK and if I lived closer I would not hesitate to sign up but living in the UK does add that little extra to the costs but I will continue my search on trying to find a local supplier as everything Gwen is just so perfect. Thank you as always for sharing.
Hope you are keeping well??
Big Heartfelt hugs Tracey xx
Wow, stunning results! Must get me some fibre paste! That first stenciling is just perfection - I would have just stopped there, if I had the courage to start in the first place LOL - but you elevated it to the next level!
You created your doily to totally new. I cannot believe that the both are the same doily. You create you are an artist!
This beautiful doily could adorn my table any day! Wow, such a creative use for these beautiful stencil designs Jackie! I love the colors you've used! Thanks for sharing such wonderful inspiration! ~Ann xx
What a lovely doily makeover! Your layering is so inspired. I would never have thought to use those colors on a white doily, but it works so well!
