Batiks With Soy Wax

This week I finally got around to making some batiks with soy wax. I have had this wax for a couple of years, but couldn't find the time to get into that kind of project. I had tried some batiking about ten years ago with paraffin and beeswax and it was time consuming. This time I just pulled out some hand-dyed fat quarters that were more pastel than what I like working with, heated up the soy wax and applied it using different designs.

After letting them dry overnight I painted them with dye.

After washing, drying and ironing, this is how they turned out.

 I will not be waiting two more years before I try soy wax batiking again.
