Batik

Batik is a method of producing colored designs on textiles by dyeing them, having first applied wax to the parts to be left undyed.
My mom says I am a 20 year old grandma and she just might be right. For my "grandma projects" I have used various types of fabrics with various types of patterns on them. For this assignment I was given the opportunity to make my own pattern. To execute this project I was given a cotton square and a bottle of paste. I drew on the square with this paste and waited for it to dry before painting the fabric to dye it. Once the paint dried and I flaked off all the dried paste I simply washed the fabric and bam. I have decided I don't mind if I am called a 20 year old grandma.
