Faux Batik Tulips ~ alcohol ink on waxed paper



Here's my latest 'batik' painting. This time I tried a floral. Just some simple pink tulips and their foliage. I'm working small...all are approx. 5" x 7". I haven't mounted this one yet but I may try adhering it to Yupo rather than w/c paper this time. The w/c paper had a tendency to buckle from the moisture in the Mod Podge. I plan to do a photo demo of this technique for my next post.

Hello Billie:) That would be nice a demo! I love the texture and the colors are beautiful! The texture did me think of the skin of a crocodile!

It does look similar to crocodile skin, Renate. Most that have seen this think it looks quilted.
