Detail


This is a closeup of the detail on a leaf. Batik can be hard (for me at least) to have fine detail. The vein down the middle of the leaf was done by scratching the wax off in a narrow line. I have some other ideas of how to make designs in the wax. But if the wax crackles, it could overpower the design. Although soy wax doesn't seem to crack too much. I need to play in the basement more.
