        Learn how to batik fabric with glue! The batik technique is a really fun way to dye fabric. It’s a dyeing technique that’s different than the typical tie-dyeing process. To batik fabric, you use wax or glue to make the fabric resist the dye. So by using the batik technique you can create beautiful designs by using glue.

Ande Hall: Oil Pastel & Acrylic Paintings

        We just finished our interview with Ande Hall, oil pastel and acrylic artist. Ande’s art caught my eye quite awhile ago, and I was immediately drawn to the bold colors and outlines! And so I couldn’t help myself, and finally decided to buy two of her original paintings. I just loved them too much, and had to have them! So we decided we’d love to interview her, and spread the word about her amazing work. And we are so glad we did! We had a wonderful time learning more about her and her artwork, and admire her even more than before. So we really hope that you all will also enjoy her interview, and have fun browsing through her beautiful paintings!
