My workroom is now usable again. I just need curtains, but that can wait. You can see one of my storage units in the bottom of this collection of photos. These look like a series of
boxes, but act as my bookshelves too. They are also on lockable castors, so can be moved around easily giving me extra worktop space!
Last week I was able to go to a batik workshop and made the following three pieces - all have only one colour this time, but I intend to overprint these at some stage. Two were made using soya wax and the first was using paraffin wax. I just wanted to see what the difference was.

I must admit that I preferred using the paraffin wax since I found it easier to use in the tjanting. The soya wax seems to be easier to iron out of the fabric. Each piece is waiting to be given a first wash before ironing again to remove more of the wax. I'll report back on how I get on.

LOVELY!!!! You must be so pleased with how your craft room turned out!!!!
Yes, thanks. I am really pleased with my "new" room. I still can't find everything, but the layout suits me better.
