More Feathers - This Time with Paint!
 

Ok, last experiment for a while...my paintstik's came in today so I had to play a little!!

Here's what I started with...

The painting turned out pretty awful but I got a feel for what it does...here's a shot of an area I thought turned out really neat!

Cool! My order of paintstiks came in last week but I haven't had a chance to play with them yet!

Wow your feathers are just beautiful, and the work with paintstiks looks really nice to me.

Thank you! I'm really excited to play around with these. The paint was kinda - bleh - but I need to buy paint brushes and some brush cleaner this evening so I can really play. But it's neat to think of all the different things that could be done with them!

Does anyone know where I can order them from? I am in Canada and need to pay with PayPal.

Yes! Dharma Trading Co - most matte colors were about $4.35 each (some are higher but not many) and I paid with Paypal. They have tons of colors and the shipping was FAST! I ordered these on Sunday evening and they arrived today - I'm in Ohio and they are in California. I would imagine they ship to Canada, most places do! :)

thanks for sharing your idea.....
I will have to give this a try....

Which paint sticks are you using?

love it!!!!wonderful

Love your feathers and what you did with the paint sticks. I have been thinking about getting some of these.
You can also get the paint sticks here: http://cedarcanyontextiles.com/
They have a once a week newsletter that you can sign up for that is very informative and they have "rubbings" that can be used with the sticks. Gosh, there is so much to learn and do!!! Might need a second lifetime to get it all in.
