smallhobbitYesterday's Dare to Dabble session covered both Batik and Tie Dyeing.
The batik began with a cloth stretched over a frame
To which the pattern was painted using melted wax
This was then painted with fabric paints
These were dried with a hair dryer, before being ironed between sheets of newspaper to remelt and remove the wax.
Tie dying began with a piece of cloth, tied up with elastic bands, which was then painted
Once the elastic bands were removed the pattern was revealed
I had to add a bit of yellow paint to both finished pieces, as I had missed areas originally.
The finished products:
