Playing with Resist
I love playing with resists, applying them on fabric, paper, leather, metal, you name it!
The first resist I used was wax, in the form of batik. Tjaunting tools, brushes, and stamps were in my applicator arsenal.
For paper application I use a liquid resist and apply it in a variety of ways; brush, pen, and tip.
It is imperfect and beautiful! The artwork comes to life when color is added.
When the resist is removed the magic happens! It is an experimental process, some times the results are amazing and sometimes, let’s just say it’s a “learning” moment. Either way the process is inspiring!
