There are some online tutorials here on my Royal Design Studio website. http://www.royaldesignstudio.com/howto.php?name=Basic%20Stencil%20Techniques Also some good DVDs (I hear) on stenciling. I would go with Stencilng Foundations or Wall to Wall http://www.royaldesignstudio.com/booksvideos.php?name=DVDs Stenciling a whole ceiling can be physically challenging and time consuming-but oh so worth it in the end!

You women are so talented! I am sure that Maryam and all her guests will love looking up at those beautiful works of art! Is there any way you could recommend a source (or even better, an online tutorial) for people looking to paint their ceilings in their own home in a similar way? I have painted many murals before, but I'm not really familiar with stencilling...and certainly not in such an intricate repetitive pattern. This is incredible! You women are so talented!

The stiff neck and sore knees are forgotten. Missing the wondrous wafting smells of the magical feasts in the kitchen while we worked, the stunningly beautiful sights of the luncheon table set to perfection, and Maryam and Chris, such gracious hosts, always finding ways to make us comfortable. And of course, the opportunity to leave our mark on Peacock Pavilions for many to enjoy for years to come is a warm fuzzy feeling. Spending "faux money" in the souks and seeing the sights and enjoying all of the artists was a blast. My henna is still there! I arrived home to find my new studio under construction and can't wait to receive my rugs from Marrakech to coordinate new finishes. And to incorporate my new-old tea service into my daily routine. Looking forward to seeing all the photos - of course will have to wait for several to arrive home after moving on to Paris and Madrid!
