I saw this wonderful project at this great site Pink and Green Mama (a favorite of mine)- as soon as I saw the project, I just had to try it out with Holly as this was right up her alley. When I showed her what we were doing, she was very excited. We started with a white cloth napkin and if she enjoyed this project we would later tackle something larger like an apron or book bag. This was just the right size for now though. You take your Elmers Gel Glue and draw a design all over your fabric. Let is sit and dry for a couple of hours, we set ours in the sunshine. Then you paint your design with acrylic paint - rainbow colors for us. Again, let this dry for a couple of hours, we set ours in the sunshine. Once the paint is dry you will then soak your fabric in a sink of hot water for about 15 minutes and the glue will begin to dissolve. You can scrunch/rub the fabric together to encourage it to happen quicker, this will not ruin your paint job. Once the glue has fully dissolved from the fabric it will reveal the design you created, a batik. This project, though it looks fancy, was amazingly easy and quick! Holly truly enjoyed this - we'll be doing more I am sure! A fun art project!!!

Have you ever heard of batik? It’s a wax-resist cloth-dyeing technique originating from the Indonesian island of Java. It’s basically resist art…much like our favorite oil pastel and watercolor resist art…but for fabric! The traditional Indonesian process involves hand-drawing various patterns onto cloth using hot wax (paraffin and/or beeswax). The cloth is then placed in […]

LAST ONE!!! Alright so for my last artist I figured I would need to go out with a bang, and who better to do that than Jen Stark and her fantastic explosions (often of color)? Counter Cosmo So on her website, she has drawings and animation "pieces" on display, too, but I was like "Shoot! I love her sculptures and it will be her sculptures this blog looks at!" So let's look! First off, as anyone would guess who knows me or who has read almost any of my blogs, I love color, and THESE HAVE SO MUCH COLOR! Microscopic Entrance Who would have thought about taking a ton of colored paper and making sculptures out of it like she did? I like the form of the sculptures and the rhythm and pattern in them. Their 3D quality complements the bold color schemes nicely. Radial Reverie I so wish I could see these in real life and be able to look at them from angles other than what the pictures show. I would really want to touch them, though. It would be like when you have a book and run your thumb across the pages as they flip from back to front,... and back again. Sunken Sediment I could not find it on the site I was looking at for her, but I want to know why? Why this, why this paper, why these colors? How did she come up with this idea? Speed of Light Anyways, I actually have enjoyed looking at all these different artists this past summer, and hope you did and will do, too. Signing off. :) -Maria http://www.jenstark.com/index.php
Batik Today's preschool art class was all about Batik... Well faux Batik that is. We used regular copy paper (because it crumples well), crayons, and an acrylic wash to create images that echo the technique of Batik fabric dyeing. Batik is a method (originally used in Java) of producing colored designs on textiles by dyeing them, having first applied wax to the parts to be left undyed. The wax that is placed on the textile by the artist acts as a resist and will keep the dye from penetrating that area. In some cases the wax is cracked first so that the dye seeps through the cracks forming another layer of design for the artist. In our version of Batik we are using crayons for the wax, crumpling the paper to "crack" the wax, and then using the acrylic wash to "dye" the image and the paint remains in the cracks creating interest. After a little trial and error I had the kids use black crayons to make a random design on the white paper. Next we used all the colors we wanted to fill in the new spaces we made with our black crayons. When the entire paper (or most for some kids) was filled with crayon we wadded it up, crumpled it and then flattened it back out. Finally we added the paint wash and used paper towels to carefully wipe off the excess paint. designing Getting started Thinking about color! crumpling a masterpiece! Adding the paint less crayon = more of a crackled resist painting Lots of crayon, look closely to see the purple cracks... spider! This image was one of my examples and was really washed out after the paint was added. 1. I would recommend darker colors for the wash, 2. as you can see I went back after it dried and used some black crayon to help the image pop back out.
I'm always on the lookout for crafts and DIY presents that upcycle materials we have around the house. Never mind that I am a horrible packrat when it comes to recyclables and I have multiple stashes around the house "just in case" I need them for a fabulous craft idea. I have a whole closet dedicated to toilet paper rolls, egg cartons and glass jars. When I saw this post about creating Elmer's Glue Gel Batik at All Our Days I knew I had finally found the perfect craft for some old worn and ripped sheets I have been saving for a few years. It was on my summer bucket list and in keeping with my one little word for 2014, "make". I am making bunting flags for my garden and I knew I wanted to try this technique for some of the flags. I didn't, however, have the glue gel. I decided to try it with regular white craft glue, and the results are in.... it worked perfectly. At All Our Days they suggest using this technique to make cloth napkins, which I could see working if enough of the paint is rubbed out of the fabric so that it is soft enough. I didn't worry about that because I am making flags and want the colour to be more intense and the fabric is slightly stiff from the paint, although ironing the fabric at the end made them softer. I imagine that after repeated washings the fabric would soften up as well. Materials: pieces of fabric, hemmed or edged on a sewing machine so that it won't fray (I used upcycled sheets). I only sewed around the edges on three sides for mine because I will be folding over and sewing the top edge to create my bunting. white craft glue acrylic paint paint brushes (I used the wedge sponge type) hot water in a shallow dish, and more hot water to rinse Method: "Draw" the pattern or shape onto the fabric using the glue. I practiced what I wanted to do on paper first to be sure that the design would fit. Lay the fabric in a sunny location to help set the glue on the surface. Luckily I did this on a hot day so this part of the drying process only took about an hour. The glue shouldn't be fully dry throughout or else it won't wash off in the hot water. To test if it is ready, run a dry brush lightly over the surface. The glue shouldn't smear and should still be white. The longer the glue is left to dry the harder it is to get out of the fabric later, but I would rather err on the side of leaving it too long than trying to paint over the glue and having it smear. When the glue is sufficiently set, paint the fabric using the acrylic paint. I decided to water my paint down quite a bit and slightly layer the colours. Lay the fabric out to dry. Wait until the paint is completely dry. Again, because I did this on a very hot day it only took about an hour. Pour hot tap water in a shallow dish in the sink and leave the fabric to soak until the glue rubs off easily. I had to add hot water a few times and rub with my fingers to completely remove the glue and paint. This took away some of the intensity of the colour but I was pleased with the final result so this didn't bother me. Lay the fabric to dry in the sun again. I tried this process minus the glue for a few pieces of fabric and they look great. The colour is more intense on those ones because I used more concentrated colour and a fine paint brush. I should have put something underneath the fabric while it was drying because it stained my table and now I have to figure out how to get it out. Iron the fabric if so desired. I ironed mine because I wanted them to lay flat. Turn it over and iron the wrong side. I also trimmed the fraying edges up close to the sewing edge that I did. Voila! I really like the blending of the colours in the batik versions, and the imperfections in the paint that give them a one of a kind appearance. My daughter designed the veggie flags and I did the chakra flags.
