Making Batik Cloth 2-14-2015

We were able to learn about how to make Batik cloth and make our own.

next we choose stamps

First we dye our fabric a color

3rd we dip them in wax

then dye it a second color

then stamp the wax in a pattern on the cloth to protect that area from 2nd color

it does not look right

but as it dries it turns the right color

then they put it in boiling water to take off the wax

Trip to Cape Coast Jan 15,2015

Darrell & Shelly Miles our friends from home are serving in the Cape Coast Mission so we went to stay with them and have them show us the area. It was fun to renew friendships and compare stories. Their mission is the next one to the west about 3 hours. They were in Liberia but were moved due to the Ebola outbreak.
