They were using Shiva Paintsticks which I guess are specifically made for fabric? Anyway the effect was very nice but they did recommend it only be used for artquilts and wall hangings.
    Those are the same Shiva Paintstiks and rubbing plates I used for this. I'm going to do some of my own "durability testing" to see how well the designs hold up through multiple launderings as well. These paints do have a slight but distinct odor; they are oil paints and do smell like it. The odor isn't strong enough to be noticeable in a wall hanging or art quilt, but I'm not sure I'd want to have it next to my nose when I'm cuddled up under a quilt.

    I'm thinking of doing some kind of a "sampler" wall hanging, depending on how my experiments turn out.

    Cool! Last December I bought some of those black plastic templates for design but I bought a fabric paint. I might also try using the Derwent Inktense pencils on the templates. Your project reminds me I need to dig those out and give it a try.

    I'd love to hear how the Inktense pencils work out... I tried some awhile back but didn't realize that I needed to heat-set them and the color washed out... More stuff to try!
