PaintStiks
#1
Have any of you used Paintstiks in a quilt? They look really interesting and I got some the other day to try out but I wondered if anyone here has tried them and how they worked for them.

i love playing with paint sticks---the shiva ones?
they are nice to work with- and permenent.
easy to blend-nice color selections
i normally dye fabrics once in a while it is fun to play with paintsticks or colored pencils and do some design detail- or just enhance colors here & there

I would have loved to use them but can't due to my asthma. Thought I would post a word of caution to fellow sufferers - I was fine with them at the quilt show but when I was home in a smaller room, the fumes were too intense so had to give them up.

There's a class at Quilt University on Shiva Paintsticks. It starts July 8th and is taught by Daphne Greig (remember the quilter whose quilts were marked up by US customs on her way to Quilt Market last year?)
Here's info on the class (click on the supply list for all the detailed info and a class outline). It'd be well worth the $36 registration fee. http://www.quiltuniversity.com/classlist.htm#Paintstiks

you really do NOT need a class on using paintsticks...
you can watch videos on youtube cheaper and learn more!
NOthing against Qu, I just took another class on there, but the paint sticks really only require practice and I tell my students to buy some of the fattest crayons they can find and practice rubbing things with those first to get a FEEL/HAND on how the shiva sticks work. I stencil with them, do rubbings, what ever I feel will get the effect I want achieve.
