I thought I’d share the five marking tools I really, really like for those painted canvas pieces.

First up is this neat wood clay roller. It comes with three other rollers and you can buy it online or at Blicks. I just love the marks this roller makes. You can see I used the roller with several colors, and then added white lines as the top marks.

This wood fabric stamp can be found at craft stores and online. I just love the marks it makes, but then I absolutely love wood stamps.

Here are the last three.

The brayer with dots also comes with an extra roller with lines. I found mine at Tuesday Mornings, but you can also get it online. The old potato masher I’ve used a lot with my soy wax, but it also works great with paint. I don’t remember where I found it. The last is a cheap foam stencil brush. I don’t like to use it for stenciling, but sure love the circles it makes on this canvas.
These are just five of my favorite marking tools. I showed one of my finished art quilts using these canvases on this post. Below are the two I’ve finished so far.

This second one I like even better than the first one.

Now to make one more. I’ve never been real good at working in a series. I’m trying to learn to be more disciplined!
Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend.

I love love the outcome! Amazing use of some simple but effective marking tools!
How cool. I love the roller lines best, but all are good choices.
Claudia, Thanks! They are so simple. I’m always on the lookout for marking tools. Some have worked well – others not, but love them all. Thanks for dropping by.
Dolly, I really like the roller lines too. But the potato masher is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.
Such cool tools! Wish I could come play. And thanks for the links. I will be getting some of these

Angie, Too bad we don’t live closer because we could get into a lot of trouble! Thanks for dropping by. Love you growing indigo. I’ve thought about it until I saw what the process involves! Can’t wait to see your progress.
I love your painted canvas and you found some neat tools for it. Especially love the brayers.
Sherrie, Thanks. Yep, I also love any kind of brayers, but especially these.
love that lined wooden roller. I have never seen one of those before.
Kathy, It’s for clay but works great with paint.
