Welcome to a new year of Technique Tuesdays!
I love the look of batik, especially the crinkley style where cracks in the wax allowed black dye to create a spiderweb pattern all over the cloth. Well, I’ve learned an easy way to simulate this look on paper. It’s messy, but not nearly as messy as doing real batik, with its multiple dye-baths.
Wow, that looks great! I’ve been to Bali and taken a batik class, and since I’ve been interested to do it again. Can’t wait to try it!
Oh, that must have been a fabulous trip! I hope you’ll share some pictures of your work with us
