Batik using Procion black dye
This piece was dye painted with Procion black mixed 50-50 with print paste to thicken it up a little. After curing the paint (let it sit overnight, then iron from the backside) and the dye (regular batching process), it's easy to get the paste out by soaking the fabric in water for a short while. Washing removes what little might be still left in.
