Working with Wax Batik

A friend and I have enjoyed learning a method of wax batik from a local artist, Mark Mulfinger.  I started with my own drawing on unbleached cotton and a wide band of wax on the borders.

 I added wax to the areas I wanted to remain white, then applied the dye and hung to dry.

 You can see the areas of green that I preserved before a new color was applied.

Many more other colors were added in a sequence which created this piece, entitled "Coral".  The piece is brighter than it appears in this photo.  It has been a fun and challenging experience.
