Vinyl (Record) Stencils

For this project we had to make a stencil of a favorite singer/musician/band and put it onto a record. First we had to find a picture of the artist that we wanted, and at first I chose a picture of Leeland, but then i changed it to Beyonce because I really love her music. After I got a picture of Beyonce, I went to Photo shop and changed into a stencil. This part was the easiest. Then came the hard parts. I had to first cut out an outline of Beyonce's head shot and that was my black stencil. Then I used an Exacto Blade to cut out the white parts of the picture and that was my second stencil. This may seem fairly easy but it wasn't because I had to do that process 3 times in order for the stencil to come out right. I sprayed my record red because I thought that red really fit Beyonce because she is on fire! :D Then I put the outline on to my 2nd record and sprayed it black. I picked it up and it was good. Then I put on the 2nd stencil and sprayed it white, and voila it actually turned out good. This was a really good learning experience to do the stencils, but it was really frustrating trying to get the stencil to come out right and in the end I think it came out OK but I wish it came out a little better. Other than that I'm glad that I finished the record stencil, now onto the social issue stencil!
