Wax jellyfish on silk charmeuse scarves!

I’ve been playing with wax and dye in the studio! I use a tool that holds a well of hot wax to draw on the silk scarf. Then I thicken my dye and paint it on with a big fat paint brush. Next I wrap the scarf up in paper and steam it. After it cools, I wash it in hot soapy water.
Check out my photos of the process….
