Description
Entries to this competition are to be shot within the month of July 2018.

I hope you're all responsible enough to be trusted with scissors and craft knives. Additionally, I hope that all genres of photographer might be able to find a way to submit a valid entry. Finally, I think this may be a good opportunity for kids/grandkids to lend a hand.

Stencils are simply cut out shapes. Edited to add: the stencil part is the hole you cut out; either to see through or to project light through. The exterior card needs to be firm enough that it can be held/mounted in position.
They can be held between the lens and subject to modify reality; made really small to reshape bokeh; change the pattern a flash casts; or bring something into being when illuminated. (see the thread linked below for more detailed suggestions)

I expect the use of a stencil to constitute a major part of your picture. I also expect you to write a couple of lines in the description to explain how it was accomplished. Good luck.

Here is a thread for questions about this competition. If you are unclear, please ask before submitting an entry.

Standard monthly competition rules apply:
Pictures must be taken with a Pentax camera or closely-related clone.
---- Entries must be taken within the month of July 2018. ----
The winner is expected to select the following month's topic and judge the competition, giving comment on each entry.

Oh dear! More Work ! Thank you, that is surprising. I did try for some bokeh stuff, but the earing is just too small for that. Disappointing number of entries, though I confess a difficult technique to master. Congrats and kudo to NigelK and Johnriley for rising to the challenge. And of course thanks to Abe_Normal for the challenge and CC's. I'll have something new up later today.
