I transferred the design to fabric and then outlined it all with soy wax to be as a resist.
Front after wax applied
here you can really see the wax outline
The wax has to dry completely, so I used the time to mix my print paste (which has to sit overnight), chemical water and dye concentrates. Tomorrow, I start the painting.
Anyway, I had quite a few inquiries after mentioning soy wax in yesterday's post, so I created a little video on how I use it as a painting resist. You can see it on my website.
And that's it for today. Have a great night!
Great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteFabulous video Deb! It's funny...I bought the same melting pot and soy flakes a couple years ago and I still haven't used them. Now you've got me wanting to go find them and start trying this.
