Mark making

Mark making seemed the place to start in order to understand what I can achieve with my 2 Tjantings. One has a single spout and is easier to control the flow of wax than the 2 spouted Tjanting but they do give me a good range of marks. The first samples are based on a patchwork of squares and would work well for cushion covers. The dyes will initially be one layer starting with indigo and then experiment with ways to lift the wax - iron/boil/etc.

Visiting London and the British Library collected images that reminded me of the marks I had made with the Tjanting.
