Flights of Fancy: New Pattern and Rubbing Plates

We've added this butterfly pattern and two new rubbing plate sets to our collection of Shiva® Paintstik®-
related products by Cedar Canyon.

Like the Leaves pattern, Butterflies gives you the designs to make a beautiful 27" x 40" quilt, or use the motifs for journal pages, place mats or pillow covers. Designer Nancy Kazlauckas shows you how to add background textures with rubbings, create fabulous images with freezer paper stencils, and add finishing touches with fusible appliqué.

 
Garden Flowers and Floral Fantasy Rubbing Plate sets each contain six different designs with a garden/floral theme. Use them with Paintstiks and paper or fabric.

In this, her fourth book, Ruth pulls together her methods for making printing blocks; applying paint, dye, and other media to paper and paint; and layering and combining techniques for unique designs. You will be amazed at how far a little ingenuity and some layering can take your surface design skills.
