Batik Hand

Today's project was so much fun to do. I have always wanted to make Batik fabric and this was the perfect opportunity. Batik is made by applying wax onto fabric to resist the dye,  then dying the fabric. After the fabric is dry, you iron the fabric between paper towels to remove the wax and viola, you have Batik. It was really fun to do with a bit of trial and error. More dying projects to come...

  1. I would love to have you show me how you did this. What are your ASL/interpreting plans?
