In my musings through the random musings forum I noticed this image:

Would anybody happen to know what those plastic curve and arch stencils are called or where I can find a catalogue of such on the internet? I am speaking of the plastic stencil tool located between the pencils and DVD at the bottom of the image.

Those are commonly referred to as "french curves". They come in an assortment of sizes and are typically inexpensive. Any art/office supply store will have them.

Thank you. The discovery of these tools is so very fantastic. All my art, though created digitally, has the feel of only being shaped by drawing with french curves. These would be excellent for quickly planning on paper. I will definately be purchasing some of these when I get home.
