Soy Wax.....Class



has gathered together to create

Soy Wax Batik on Fabric









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






Soy Wax






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












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!

  3. Yes, the students were giddy with excitement and truly enjoyed playing with the hot wax. I plan to use my hot wax fabrics for abstract quilts and also zipper bags.
