Batiking

Lots of knitting this past week but we did fit in some time for an art project involving surface design. 

Flaked soy wax was melted and we heated up one of the  pizzell
cookie forms "rented" from the local thrift store, to use for our resist patterns.
.
Excess wax is allowed to drip off the form before it is stamped.





The hot wax penetrates the fabric and is then allowed to cool and harden.

We stamped over several layers of muslin to protect the counters.
