Stencil-making

So I'm quite obsessed with making stencils and stencilling and I went a-looking for some good web links that told me how to do it (and do it well).


The links might be above the technical prowess of some, but if you know Adobe Photoshop, then it's most easy! Just time consuming to make stencils of a class of 31 kids :/
