Our last day with Betty focused on using wax as a resist, aka batik. The last non woven material we were introduced to was Dunicel, a very thick paper, sold as a table cloth at "Smart and Final Iris" a grocery type store in Arizona.

Close up of a sample piece of Betty's showing the use of Dunicel.
Can be painted, salted, torn, stitched, etc. |

| A Piece of Dunicel batiked. |
Some of my pieces:
 |
| A piece of silk that I originally coloured with paint and alcohol bled dots, then batiked with midnight blue DynaFlow. |
 |
| Acrylic metallic dots, painted with DynaFlow and batiked. |
 |
| Dunicel with DynaFlow paint, waxed and crinkled with Dynaflow. |
 |
Same as above, but note the light texture of the orange paint.
I dried it on a metal chair and it took on the metal grid texture. Bonus!! |
 |
Dunicel painted with violet and pewter DynaFlow, waxed and crinkled with gold metallic acrylic paint.
Be careful to remove all excess paint on top of the was as it will get ironed into the piece as you get rid of the wax!! |
