Shiva Paintstiks - anyone here use them?
I just purchased an assortment of Shiva paintstiks from Dharma Trading - they were a little pricier than ones I found on Amazon but I was able to choose my own colors. Anyone here use them? What were your thoughts? Have pictures you can share?? Thanks! :)

I can't offer any input, as I've never used them - but I have been considering it so I'm curious what responses you get.

Thank you QuiltNan! I read through some of the older threads but there just isn't much info shared on them. I saw a few pictures pop up in the photos section so thought maybe it might be time to ask again!! ;)
Like how they wash up for instance! I am reading they are permanent after heat setting. I'd kind of like to use it on some quilts that may not get used a lot, but might be washed I every now and then (I have kitties and dust accumulates on quilts on display). I don't know if I'd throw them in the washer but maybe rinse in the sink and hand dry? Or must they be dry cleaned? |
Yes I have used them. I get mine at a local art store because I can choose my own colors.
I have used them directly on fabric using one of the Cedar Canyon plates and that turned out great. I have also just rubbed them on freezer paper and brushed it on fabric to give the fabric a more appealing look. It made the orchids and flowers more realistic in color. Just wash you quilt normally. However, my normal is more like using a quilt soap and not what I use with my clothes/ It is great that they form their own protective cover and all you have to do is remove it and they are just like new. |
Thanks for sharing AliKat! This is good to know - I cannot wait until they come in. I don't use a quilt wash but will probably not wash the quilts I use them on that often.
