Batik Tulips~Completed



Ta Da! It's finally done. Last night I removed all the tape and finished the centers of the tulips. Today I looked at it and thought I could've done a better job on the tulip in the lower left corner so I retaped a few areas and applied another light wash. I got some very nice bleeds on the tulip and the background and thoroughly enjoyed this process. I would definitely try this again. It's a bit tedious applying the tape but more fun than a chore. Kudos to Sandy Maudlin for creating this technique.

  8. What fun, Billie! See now why I had not found stages, had opened from my own blog following and just got one update at a time. Have to open entire blog to see each stage listed together! ('')

  10. Thanks, Patty.:) I'd like to try this again on a larger scale. I've read that different masking tapes produce different results so I need to experiment further.
