My recent trip to Spain inspired me to create a project using lines and shapes from the incredible architecture. I also wanted to practice batik techniques using soy wax. I dyed the waxed fabric in indigo to establish a foundation for a this new creation. I only dipped the fine cotton/silk fabric once and the color was great. I wondered if the wax would come off in the vat but I was pleasantly surprised that it held up well. I could have dipped it more than once as long as I was careful not to stir it around. There will be much more done to complete this project but I am happy with the beginning (18 x 24 inch) image.
