Multicolor Screen Prints

January 30, 2013 ShellyStokes

The best name I can give this is Multicolor Screen Printing with Interfacing Stencils. I’m not going to give you the blow-by-blow on how to do this. I know this information is included in […]

She is planning to make a handbag and she wanted my opinion on which Paintstik colors would look best on her fabric. I remembered a fantastic idea for testing colors from Nancy Kazlauckas, as well […]

Featured Artist: Kathy Rentz

December 6, 2012 ShellyStokes

Some of our community members use our Shiva Paintstiks to add subtle embellishments to their quilts. Others, like Kathy Rentz, use them on every square inch of a quilt. I think you’ll agree that this quilt is really fabulous – and Kathy made incredibly good use of her Paintstiks. Here are Kathy’s comments from her […]

Tool Talk: Gelatin Plates for Printmaking

November 29, 2012 ShellyStokes

Now that winter is setting in, I’m ready to get back to my print-making experiments. My next project is to make positive and negative prints with my hand-carved linoleum blocks.
