on 140# CP watercolor paper.
Happy Cactus Monday!
Why not experiment with something artistic today!

Oh Margaret, that's beautiful! And a really great quote to add to the art!
And a lovely experiment it is too!
Oh and glad the album arrived safely - hope you'll enjoy it! At least the postal system this side is OK!
Wow, such a cool look! I've never used masking fluid, but it seems like a fun tool! Great work, love the colors!
Wow, this one looks amazing!
I love the colors and effects!
Just beautiful.
WOW!! I do this type of drawing with various resists and procion MX dyes on silk and cotton fabric, and you captured the look perfectly! What mask and applicator did you use?

Wow, that experiment sure turned out well. I love the colors and Batik effect. I don't have any cactus today, but Happy CM anyway!
Delightful experiment. Loved you sharing images of your dad in the war years. They were all such brave men.
This is an experiment that turned out very well. Great technique. What is the fint tip applicator and resist that you used? You've got us intrigued because it looks so great!
A beautiful piece of art. I love the batik type things and have done some myself!
A beautiful piece of artwork - love it!
BEAUTIFUL! I have always loved batik and you've done a beautiful job on this. Excellent, Margaret!
Beautiful, Margaret! You inspire me!

VERY COOL effect!! I need inspiration - so thanks!!
You seem to come up with new things every time!
Or is it that your comfort zone is extremely large??
HCM!
I empatically agree, experimentation is a good thing! The result of this one is stunning (and I love the quote.)
This is really beautiful. It would look wonderful on fabric too.
It's so nice to see a familiar word from home... "Batik" is a famous Malaysian traditional technique to produce designs on clothing. Tracing hot wax on outlines creating borders and using dyes to fill colors in sections of the motives. Still widely practiced in the North-Eastern states of the peninsular, very beautiful, very elegant. And that you did in excellence!
:)
Lovely art. Very striking.
what an oustanding piece, if it is an atc, you know what i am going to ask you...wanna swap?
Yes! Love it.
nice painting with a fantastic quote! A wonderful batik effect..:)

No matter what style you experiment with your colors are brilliant. HCM.
Your colours and style are lovely, it looks like a painting on silk. Beautiful!
Wow! That came out great. Might have to give it a try. It's beautiful!
Batik is one of my favorite mediums. This is a wonderful way to get this effect. I did an experiment using wax on rice paper. I have been looking for it and can't find it. Will look again in my office soon. It has to be somewhere. Just Beautiful cactus. HCM Judy
you've developed a great effect .... I had to scroll through a few postings to check if you commented on how it was accomplished.....
