PeaceHeart2 -- Fun with School Glue!

So, I have been using hot wax in batik for over 35 years (OMG, that's a very long time)...but in the spirit of the very first post here (can this old hippie learn new tricks?) this is an experiment with school glue as a resist, thickened dyes painted in for flowers and foliage, then unthickened cerulean blue for the background, again painted on. We shall see...first pic is design drawn on unbleached muslin that has then been stretched in an embroidery hoop.

This shot is after dyes have been painted on.



After the dyes have set and the piece has been ironed and washed, there will undoubtedly be touch-ups with fabric crayons...this is very typical of my girly-girl style...watch this space for the final version...all feedback welcomed!
