Abstract
Abstract Art is stencil cast using modeling paste directly onto a substrate door, a wall section, such as, a panel, a rigid or flexible vinyl sheet or similar materials, which acts both as a base for the mold and as the substrate for permanent retention of the cast-in-place art work.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A stencil for making a modeling paste art product, comprising: a. a flat thick sheet of a thermosetting plastic for overlaying a relatively thin flexible material substrate in close juxtaposition thereover, b. said body defining an open cavity thru which modeling paste may be cast for adherence to and as an island on the substrate, c. said body also defining a closed cavity opening toward the substrate only, to enclose previously cast islands, d. individual wire filaments extending independently of each other across said open cavity, and e. means to secure said filaments to said body, f. whereby the combination of the above structures will provide a stencil capable of producing multiple cast islands of differing heights if modeling paste on a thin flexible substrate wherein at least one of the islands will have a pointed lip around its periphery and rippled surface tips across its top surface when said stencil is removed from the substrate.
