My radical porch - where can I find this?

**homesteadmamma** · 07-23-2003, 01:10 PM

I promised the kids I'd paint my porch really radical. My plans are to make it a beach scene, with palm trees, a large sun, water, etc.

BUT I need to know where I can find a stencil for a palm tree? We don't have many craft places to find one. Does anyone know where I could find one?

I'll have a look at the craft store in town, they have lots of them. Here is a link to one:

I don't have any ideas about where to get the stencil but I wanted to tell you what a cool idea I think that this is. Will you post a picture of your porch when you are done? I would love to see it.

It's not a stencil but may give you some ideas for freestyle. Have fun!http://www.tswltd.co.uk/jacob_s_pirate_ship.html

Kathy, I will post a before picture and an after picture. It will take some time. I'm picking up paints while I'm in Winnipeg on Sat. I pretty much know the colors I want to do it in.

Thanks for the links, I'll be checking those later today.
