Leave it to Martha to put a hip spin on stenciling, a craft that had a heyday in the 1980s with country-kitchen borders of painted geese, ivy and pineapples.
An article in the September issue of Martha Stewart Living shows some stenciling projects that would be at home in a sleek urban loft. Particularly good-looking are the linen pillows stenciled with circles that look slightly out of register (see photo). It's a simple matter of stenciling the pillows twice: first with a set of white circles, then shifting the stencil a bit and applying circles in a darker color of paint. The same treatment is used on a chocolate-brown drum lamp shade, using white and robin's-egg blue circles.
The magazine also uses circular stencils to update a traditional wallpaper with flowers and butterflies on a black background. The metallic blue circles are stenciled in a regimented grid atop the free-form vines. It's a subtle but effective juxtaposition.
Also in this issue:
Jazz up the mats of framed pictures by drawing borders on them with paint, ink or regular or colored pencils



Sometimes there are events you have to take note of because they are culturally relevant like the Hype magazine s in-the-street launch.


DJ Ready D and DJ Switch (who gained some fame as one of the teenybopper Yo-TV presenters) were on the decks for this bona fide hip-hop event.
An odd guest was former Bafana Bafana player Shaun Bartlett, whom I had never figured as a hip-hop type. Without baggy jeans and bling, he doesn t quite fit the bill
