This is what the design looks like after dipping it into the wax and stamping on fabric. The fabric was dyed with grape dye powder.
Here is the "weird kitchen tool" I used, it's kind of like a half-moon flipper.
After dyeing this piece in rust orange, then removing the wax, I dyed it again in a warm yellow/fuchsia mixture. Which turned out to be a little too much like the original orange I used--but this piece definitely has some possibilities.
Very nice and I love the egg carton. I use those plastic ones for paint when I batik with paint.
ReplyDeleteLove the egg carton! This just proves that you don't need to spend a lot of money for great surface design tools.
