How it all started….
When I just started with art journaling 7 years ago I use to buy so may stencils and I was using them as a background layer…but after a while I started to doodle my own symbols and I looked for stencils of small houses but I couldn’t find any…
so imagine how happy I was when Stencil Girl asked me to produce my houses into stencils. I was thrilled and immediately started to sketch them.
And after just a few weeks they already sent me the samples that i’m so thrilled to show here!
We (StencilGirk and myself) decided to launch them as a set that called “the inner dream houses” I feel this set represents all my ideas about the inner dreaming child that longs for a home and is very busy searching new dream territories.
- The Tree & Houses stencils (Sideways Tree Branch L849)
The Tree & houses was inspired by the connection between people to nature.
The tree is a portal to many parallel inner worlds.
The stencil was design to allow multiple focal points . you can use parts of it from any direction or you can you all of it as a whole.
There are lots of symbols that I use in my work- the clusters of houses, the tree, the sun and moon and the small figures.
You can stamp parts of the stencil and continue the inner story in your own way.
The stencil can be used with India ink, acrylic, embossing, distress ink , tombow markers, watercolors and Gelly plate

- The Eye& Houses stencil (Eye L848)
The eye & Houses stencil by Rakefet Hadar was inspired by her love to the symbols of the inner eye and the inner house that represent the ongoing search for wholeness.
This stencil is designed as a mandala of houses and around a big Eye..you can use it as a whole or use houses clusters as a way to enrich your mix media layers.
You can also use just half of the stencils and create a focal point of an urban surrounding.
This stencil can be used with India ink, acrylic, embossing, distress ink , tombow markers, watercolors and Gelly plate
They are great for doodling because you can stamp parts of the stencil and continue it in your own way.
what is my way?
