Regular readers of my blog may remember that I was using embossed wallpaper for rubbings a while back. Well I looked the wallpaper out again and tried them with the paintsticks.
This is black cotton and I used two colours of paintstick, the iridescent ones, using the embossed wallpaper in the above picture. It has turned out beautifully.
I had this plain black table linen with a gold satin stitched edge. I thought I would try some paintstick rubbing on these. I could have used a stencil but decided to try a single image from a rubbing plate as I didn't have a leaf stencil that I liked. I could have cut another stencil but I wanted to try a single leaf rubbing. It worked well.

The rubbings are very nice. I need to try it again. The linen will be elegant to use.
