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 […]
