These
are David from Michigan's work. He hand
embossed a drawing of Kokopelli and the moon onto a
copper sheet with the metal embossing beginner's
kit from MercArt.
This Daruma card is from Allison in Sacramento, CA. She inked through the stencil and used clear paste over
it.

Daruma Gallery
The Daruma is a wishing doll. It is given to wish prosperity and good
fortune. Usually the Daruma is a paper mache
or ceramic doll, but with the Daruma stencil, you
can make a card and send it. You give the
Daruma with two blank eyes. When the recipient
makes a wish, one eye is colored in. When the
wish comes true, the other eye is colored in. Here are lots of techniques you can use with your
Daruma stencil.
Foil over acrylic paint
Rainbow pigment ink with Frosty Crystal embossing powder
