Pix of Diamond shape batik tank

Today, I waxed over the dyed area of the tank I blogged about yesterday.  Then, once the wax had hardened,  I placed the tank into a plastic bin where I had poured about 1 1/2 cups of black dye.  At first, I was trying to avoid getting dye on the front, then I decided to crackle the wax and dye both the front and back to get a more interesting look.  Here is a picture of the front:
The back is a solid black.  I have to admit, I really like how it turned out!  Yesterday, it looked a little garish to me, even though I like bright colors.  Today, with the black veining, I think it has definitely become more visually interesting!  I know I will be doing more batik clothing in the coming months!
