shivaA Special Shiva Stik Offer

Shaped like a fat crayon, Shiva oil paint stiks apply glowing color to fabric, paper, and other media (like TyvekŪ and LutradurŪ). The paint covers well even over black, dries quickly, and can be heat-set for permanence. See tips below.

We've paired them at a special price with bollios and/or rubbing plates so you can create a variety of surface-design textures. Get a copy of the beautiful 2007 Quilting Arts Magazine Calendar in each package.

book Using Shiva Stiks in Your Fiber Art

Rub it. Place a textured surface (such as a rubbing plate, rubber stamp, or plastic mesh) under the fabric or paper and rub the Shiva stik over it.

Mask it. Tape a plastic or freezer paper stencil-or even masking tape-over your surface and color within the stencil. Be sure to work gently around the stencil edges. A great way to create stripes or geometric shapes.

Blend it. Apply two or more colors, then blend them with a stencil brush or flat toothbrush using a circular motion.

Layer it. Apply a coat of one color, let it dry overnight, then apply a thin coat of another coat over it for a lovely transparent effect.

Highlight it. Rubbing a metallic stik over raised areas of your mixed-media art adds richness and highlights.

Resist it. Use them as a resist with inks.
