In a workshop led by Ailish Henderson, I learned to create wax drawings and prints on fabric, using the batik method. The great thing is I didn't have to buy any new equipment, because I could use my wax burner and watercolour paint.
I love the more unpredictable character of this craft and the whimsical shapes it produces : it means that you’ve got to be creative in thinking about the result.
The fire will be part of a bigger piece I'm planning. The green pattern I made into an embroidered piece on its own.
This one I made into a book case by adding stitching :
Lovely result on the finished, stitched and mounted batique piece!
