Nancy Kessler presented a program on Paintstiks. Paintstiks are oil based paints that resemble a jumbo crayon. Nancy demonstrated how to add texture to fabric with rubbings. You can use Paintstiks on almost any type of fabric, including cotton, silk, synthetics, suede, leather, etc. They can also be used on walls, metals, glass, etc.
Nancy explained to let your fabric dry once you've used your Paintstiks and then to heat set your project with an iron.
