Abstract
A method of making a plurality of the same combination of lawn stencils, which combination is used to create an artistic work on a lawn, includes: simultaneously cutting a first predetermined pattern of one or more openings in each sheet of a first stack of sheets by applying a high pressure water jet, each sheet of the first stack representing a first lawn stencil of the combination; and simultaneously cutting a second predetermined pattern of one or more openings in each sheet of a second stack of sheets by applying a high pressure water jet, each sheet of the second stack representing a second lawn stencil of the combination. The first predetermined pattern corresponds to one or more design elements of the artistic work, and the second predetermined pattern corresponds to one or more additional design elements of the artistic work.

3. A method of making a plurality of the same combination of lawn stencils which combination is used to create an artistic work on a lawn, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) forming a first stack of a plurality of planar sheets;
(b) simultaneously cutting a first predetermined pattern of one or more openings in each sheet of the first stack by applying a high pressure water jet through the first stack of sheets, each sheet of the first stack representing a first lawn stencil of the combination, and further cutting anchor openings in each of the first stack, each anchor opening for receiving there through a stake for anchoring of the first lawn stencil to the lawn;
(c) forming a second stack of a plurality of planar sheets; and
(d) simultaneously cutting a second predetermined pattern of one or more openings in each sheet of the second stack by applying a high pressure water jet through the second stack of sheets, each sheet of the second stack representing a second lawn stencil of the combination, and further cutting anchor openings in each of the second stack, each anchor opening for receiving there through a stake for anchoring of the second lawn stencil to the lawn;
(e) wherein the first predetermined pattern that is cut in each sheet of the first stack corresponds to one or more design elements of the artistic work; and
