GOING WITH DEAR FRIENDS AND SPENDING THE DAY WITH CLOTH......IS AS PERFECT AS YOU CAN GET. PROSPER IS A FRIEND, AND WHEN I BRING GROUPS OF SISTERS HE TEACHES US HOW TO BATIK THE BEAUTIFUL CLOTH HERE. I LOVE HOW HE HAS SO MUCH PATIENCE, AND WE ARE ALWAYS SO EXCITED AT HOW THE COLORS JUST SEEM TO JUMP RIGHT OFF THE CLOTH WITH SUCH BRILLIANCE!
YOU DON'T NEED A CLOTHESLINE HERE....JUST A PATCH OF GRASS OR NOT WILL DO!
SISTER CLARK TRYING HER HAND, AND IT LOOKS GOOD. HER STAMP IS FOAM WITH THE DESIGN DIPPED IN HOT WAX. SHE IS PUTTING THE FIRST LAYER DOWN THAT WILL REMAIN WHITE AS SHE DYES THE FIRST COLOR.
SHANNON WITH HER FIRST WAXING...ALWAYS SMILING AND READY TO PLAY!
PROSPER DOING THE THIRD PART OF THE PROCESS, BECAUSE IT TAKES MORE SKILL. HE CRUNCHES UP THE FABRIC, AND THEN POURS MORE DYE ON IT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE MARBLE OR CRACKLES.
SHANNON IS GETTNG SO EXCITED AS SHE WATCHES HER WHITE CLOTH CHANGE BEFORE HER EYES.
AMAZING AND JUST WHAT SHE WANTED!
THE FINISHED PRODUCT OF JUST ONE OF SHANNON'S CLOTH!
AND THE GANG OF BATIK'ERS THAT ARE LOVING EVERY MINUTE. WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY SPENT WITH CHOICE KINDRED SPIRITS.
THIS PROCESS SINGS TO MY SOUL, AND I WANTED EVERY PIECE. I DID MANAGE NOT TO TAKE IT ALL, BUT WENT AWAY WITH A FEW MORE PIECES TO ROUND OUT MY BULGING SUITCASES I WILL BE BRINGING HOME.
