Batik

After doing reliefs with dysperse dying I got the idea to try batik. I started just testing how the wax worked with different shapes and the procion dyes for 3DSP. I then tested using metal shapes from the metal workshop to make perfect squares and circles.


Once I'd got the idea for how it works I created leaf shapes and played with different layers and colours to get autumn leaf effects. I really liked how it turned out I'd like to do some more and work out some of the kinks. Try mixing up some colours and make it darker.
