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 […]

Shape Shifter Rubbings With Shiva Paintstiks

June 18, 2015 ShellyStokes

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 […]

Quick and Easy Paintstik Clean Up

January 17, 2013 ShellyStokes

I spent most of my time at Spring and Fall Quilt Market doing demonstrations. Whenever I do paintstik demos, the most common question I hear is “how do I clean up my brushes?” (Immediately followed by “how do I clean my stencils, rubbing plates, hands,” etc.) After playing with these paints for 10 years, I’ve […]
