dyeing

I like to try any craft and the opportunity to try batik couldn't be missed. I spent the afternoon at my friend Susie's, she has the batik wax set up. Being a novice I found it difficult to be precise drawing with the wax. I found simple bold shapes were easiest for a beginner like me. I had one or two mishaps, wax going where I didn't want it to go and spillage! I think now I have tried it and know its possibilities and boundaries next time I would do a better job. I am quite pleased with my first attempt, mistakes and all.
