A while ago I stumbled upon an art how-to “Easy Fabric Batik” by Dick Blick and am reviving it from my archives for this month’s article. It’s short, sweet and best of all it is kid friendly! There is no use of hot wax and is fun for kids (of all ages) to participate in. I tried it myself and the final product will be with me at War of the Wings. Follow the link below (which requires Adobe reader) and follow the very easy instructions. One note to keep in mind is that they call for a small class size amount of materials, which may be great if you wish to use this at an event, demo or A&S day activity.
I ran into some minor issues but for the most part it took minimal effort to create a really pretty final product. Keep your design simple and go and have some artsy fun! I have included an image with my try.
Left side is with the glue lines and the right is the paint applied once the glue dried.
