Results ....and plans.....

Here are a few piccies of yesterday's Batik piece....

...sprayed...

...and "henna" applied. (I actually used some black fabric paint through a very fine henna applicator bottle)

I still have a lot of experimenting to do...

...and need a nice fine Tjanting tool!







I'm not too unhappy with my first foray results...

...although I do need to find a way of getting more of the wax out of the fabric...

...any advice out there?

I've used a Berber henna design here and will be continuing with this theme for a little while...

...not just on fabric with Batik techniques...

...but in some tri-fold books and other small sample pieces...

...as I'll be in North Africa on two cruises this year visiting Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.

This morning I was lucky enough to find the MOST DELICIOUS paint colour to play with......... Moroccan Blue!

...watch this space!! :-)
