Sabluunointi
Sabluunointi, also known as stenciling, is a technique used to create a repetitive pattern or image by applying paint or ink through a cutout design on a stencil. The stencil is typically made from a rigid material such as paper, cardstock, plastic, or thin metal, with the desired design removed. When the paint is applied over the stencil, it passes through the cutouts, leaving the design on the surface below.
This art form has a long history, with examples found in ancient cave paintings and decorative arts
