Sein Sein Lin at Puzzlebox Studio

Many of you will remember Sein Sein Lin's visit to Nova Scotia last summer.  She is now home in Mae Sot, working as an artist at the Puzzlebox Studio.  There is a potter and a glass artist on staff as well as SSL.  Here she is giving a lesson in batik to Sandy Shum, a friend and fellow artist.

Melting wax

Sandy applies wax which acts as a resist

Applying color

Background color is added

Note the bed frame used to hold the fabric taut.

Applying background color quickly!

Now the fabric will be allowed to dry; then it will be boiled to remove the wax.  Stay tuned!
