Resist #1

I found an old batik kit in my studio, complete with a resist. I tried it out, and as expected it was something of a failure. The resist dissolves while sitting in the dye bath, which really limits its use in my work. If I'm using a quick-acting dye it might be fun -- I can lay on a thick coat of the resist, and let it dissolve into a gradient. Maybe.

Also found some dye thickener I forgot I had purchased. I used it with Jacquard Textile Colors and Dy-Na-Flow. Not bad. The colors retain their transparency, which is super-important to me.
