Batik Iris

 


This painting was done on rice paper with gold threads throughout. To learn the batik technique I took a workshop with Carol Ann Sherman. It is a multi-stepped process and took all day to finish two paintings. Lots of hot melted wax is used, along with brilliant color and indelible ink to attain this unusual stained glass look. The last step requires an iron and a stack of newspaper to melt off the wax and voila! you have a finished piece.
