One more question, do you ever use the metal stamps ? if so you or anybody have a preferred site/brand for ordering ? other than Royal Kraft or even an opinion on them ???- thank you everyone who read my novel of comments and questions !!!! and Thank You So Much to any responses ♥
I do have stamps but they're from my own travels, direct from sources. You could start with cookie cutters depending on the style you're going for. I'd stay away from the wooden stamps that royal Kraft sells, they're really pretty but the designs aren't carved deep enough for good prints. They're more for ink printing
i know this is an old video so i hope i get a response ! First of all i love the way you do your videos , informative but not over explaining every little thing ! its the perfect blend ! so my question is about how much wax to get when ordering ! ill be doing... say few dresses a bedding set and maybe some curtains or pocket books or something. i havent done in this bulk before so im at a complete loss i have no clue ! i find info like x amount per lb of fabric but really ????? uh, ive never weighed fabric in my life :) ive been semi pro and selling custom tie dye (pro. dyes and technique) for many yrs but batic only a few times. I intend to do the bees/soy wax . id LOVE any suggestions, and opinion on how much to order PLEASE !!!!!
I'd get the smallest amount you can to start... Craft stores sell waxes now for candlemaking, a little goes a long way unless youre covering large areas, which I wouldn't recommend just starting out
I took Batik in college....you are inspiring me to get out my tjanting tools again! You have some unique tools that you use...where could I find them for purchase?
Sorry I didn't respond... You need a dye fixative. Most dyers add some extra soda ash to your color if you're using cold water fiber reactive dyes, here you can get a product called super washing soda. If you're using acid dyes most dyers use vinegar
Wow!!! That is really beautiful and impressive work!!! I honestly have beyond words to describe this beautiful piece of work that you just have created.
I'm familiar with the tjanting tools that are basically the metal "bowl" with the varied spout sizes, but I haven't ever seen this one. Is the "wrap" a fiber of some sort?@@BayFibers
