From Vine to Stencil.

 Above is a photo that I took recently of a vine 'coil', where the vine had wound itself around into an overlapping circle. It was quite an effort to take the picture against the sky to have a plain background, but I just managed it.

From that photo I made the coiled vine into a kaleidoscope diagram, thinking that it would make an interesting stencil. I would probably fill in the blank centre and some of the lines might be too fine to cut. I would also change the size to fit on a standard sheet of A4 paper. Of course I could use it in the square format too.

Here is the rectangular format made into a stencil. I wonder how that will work out in a gelatine plate print? Maybe if I had the patience I could have cut out the solid lines as a reverse design!
