A few weeks ago, I started a series on Shape Shifter Rubbings. Before we jump into Lesson 3, Here’s a quick recap and links back to the first two lessons. In Lesson 1, I showed you how to make a multi-color rubbing by cutting a shape from a piece of paper, then using both the […]
Last week, I introduced the topic of Shape Shifter Rubbings. In short, the idea is to cut a shape from a piece of paper, and then use the shape and the cutout to add a secondary shape to paintstik rubbings. I’m not going to repeat all the basic steps, so click over to the Shape […]
The thing I love best about teaching is not what I teach my students – it’s what they teach me. During a class I taught at Houston Quilt Market several years ago, one of my students showed me a new way to make a muti-color Paintstik rubbing. I call these Shape Shifter Rubbings – and […]
As I was packing my Studio Suitcase for my residency in Mexico, I thought my big learning curve would be centered around how to use my Silhouette cutter. But once I sat down to work, it was clear that the real challenge is in WHAT to cut, not so much HOW to cut. Hmmm… it […]
Last week I shared an article by Nancy Kazlauckas about how she tests Paintstik colors for a project. I’m not quite as methodical as Nancy, but I did use her color testing method before I started painting on my big 3-panel project. In this case, a couple of hours up front saved me a lot […]

by Shelly Stokes, Founder and Creative Mentor If you are a member of the Cedar Canyon Community, you know that I recently announced registration for my new Totally Textured Online Course. The spaces for the small group beginning in January filled up faster than I imagined possible (thank you!), but we have plenty of openings […]
by Shelly Stokes, Founder and Creative Mentor I know, I know… it is only August. It is the middle of summer here in the US. So what are we doing talking about Christmas? Well, I will be the first to admit that it was not my idea. A couple of weeks ago, Tamara Schultz (Sweden) […]
In last week’s tutorial, I told you about my process for creating overlapping rubbings from the new Kaleidoscope plates. (Click here to read that article if you missed it.) This week, I am happy to show you my beautiful new handbag. I love making handbags from fabric I create. They are one-of-a-kind bags that do […]
by Shelly Stokes, Founder and Creative Mentor The new Kaleidoscope Rubbing Plates received warm welcome at the Minnesota Quilt Show and the International Quilt Festival in Chicago. Many thanks if you were one of the select group of people who snapped one up at the shows or placed your order during our promotion. I know […]
