Soy Wax.....Class

The Permission 2 Play group

has gathered together to create

Soy Wax Batik on Fabric

Soy Wax Batik Fabric......Class Samples

Soy Wax

Soy Wax Flakes purchased from Dharma Trading

Found Objects.....for stamping wax on fabric

Potato Mashers.....always a favorite!

Love that PVC pipe for stamping wax!

After a quick demo....

the students are hot waxing

We are waxing over commercial fabrics...

light colors

After the fabrics are all waxed...

we move onto painting over the wax

Pebeo Setacolor 

transparent and shimmer paints

We mix:  1 part paint to 2 or 3 parts water

The waxed fabric is sprayed with water

to wet it down a bit before painting...

 Painting over the waxed fabric with

diluted Setacolor paint...

The waxed areas resist the paint...

This white on white commercial fabric

created its very own interesting resist...

Look closely at the crackle resist.....FUN!

By the end of class,

the room was covered in 

waxed and painted fabrics!

After the fabric has completely dried,

it will be placed between paper and ironed

to set the paint.

Then, washed in a HOT washing machine 

and dried.

 Many thanks to all of my classroom helpers...

You are the best!
