It looks more like a puppy.

Batik Class

I spent the day dying and waxing today.

Since I had a Batik kit from 1973, and have wanted to try it, this was a perfect introduction. It was way too much to tackle on my own, knowing nothing about the process.

Here is what I created. The first is just playing around with the tools. It definately takes practice and knack. Fron there I experimented, made flowers and fish and other designs.

I still need to get the wax out of the fabric by ironing over newspaper, boil it to get all the wax out, then stitch it into something.
