The first piece I did since I’ve been back to S.P. 15 days ago…you can follow the process step-by-step on the pictures below…4 sessions of 2 hours each…

The first lines of the design on paper…

Step #2…the stencil….

Just impossible to follow the accuracy of the stencil 100%…one must know the lines one is about to do in his mind before hand…

After 2 hours the lines are done… in this case I have already drawn these lines a few times…the original piece on paper and then the stencil…I also usually wake up “drawing” them on my mind on the day of the first session which means that by the time my neddles touch the skin my hands also “know” very well what to do…

To me the out lining compared to the filling in the solid black requires a very different state of concentration…even though much care and attention is nedeed the process is somewhat more relaxed…

The last minutes…
