Here are some process pictures of my large batik (26″x 39″), “Magic Frogs Rising.”
Early in progress, adding wax. Photo by Derek Pruitt of the Post Star. Click to read the article.
You can see the batik in the long shallow dyebath, many pictures of the finished work still covered with wax, and finally covered with paper, a small section revealed with the wax ironed out.
I’m including an image of the batik and some detail shots as well as a few pictures of it in progress. Limited edition prints of this image are available through Etsy or email me at carollawconklin@yahoo.com
