Shiva Iridescent Oilstik

We had so many requests for these, we had to try them. Once you do, you'll be addicted to the incredible possibilities for creating your own complex cloth creations. The Oilstiks are real oil paint in a solid stick form. Quality pigments are mixed with special drying refined linseed oils in a highly refined wax base, and they can be used on a wide variety of surfaces like wood, metal and paper, and almost any type of fabric including natural or synthetics, leather or suede. Colors can be spread or blended with a knife, brush, or Colorless Blender.

The colors are completely compatible and can be blended with each other. Use turpentine to thin. The Oilstik are "self-sealing" just peel off the outer film before each use. Allow to dry (3-5 days), then iron to set the paint and make it wash fast on fabric. Also available are the neat Oilstik Rubbing Plates that allow you to create designs easily and quickly on fabric. It's a great way to add all-over design to a simple dyed silk scarf or low immersion dyed cotton fabric. You can also use them with stencils or rubber stamps or masking.

All colors of Shiva Professional Grade Artist's Oilstiks are Standard Size: 4-1/2" x 5/8" (116mm x 16mm) and AP non-toxic.
