Batik on silk and plant fibers
Choosing the perfect tool from potato mashers to wrenches
Tools in hot wax in the electric frying pan and telltale left over wax on the cotton table cover.
Silk is a great fiber to learn batiking on because it is easy to either dye or paint and thin enough to making removing the wax simple for the first time. Afterward when removing wax on heavier fibers you already know how easy it will be.

ReplyDeleteIt was great fun. Yes, this was my place. The "Green House" was where we spent most of our time, inside and out and the other building was my very large garage (24 X 30). It was great to have so much room under cover IF it rained but we had great weather.
