How To Create A Batik Crackle Effect On Fabric With A Flour And Water Resist
Вставка

- An unusual background on a piece fabric will make your focal design really pop.
This batik crackle effect is not only easy to do, but you will most likely have all you need in your kitchen cupboards, and it is inexpensive.
I hope that you try this for yourself.

Wow dear this is amazing this is more cheaper than buying crackling glaze paint.Thank U
I would have loved to see it after rinsing and washing it.
Hi there the image you see with the "blue veins" of color is what the fabric looks like once it has been washed. The thicker you apply the paste the bigger the cracks will be. Thanks for watching...there are other crackle methods on my channel. Learn how to crackle with cornstarch: ua-cam.com/video/LQ6vMC9JIRM/v-deo.html.

I happen to watch some of your demonstrations, the idea is great and practical, but you always end without showing the end result, that is not a good idea when you are teaching. Thank you.
Noted. Thank you for watching
I was waiting to see what the completed piece looked like…….disappointed that it didn’t show it.😏
@@znycelondon5313 Hi there thanks so much for watching. I was made aware of this a few weeks ago but I have just moved countries and as soon as my studio is set up I will re-film this video. Please bear with me.
C'est quoi quel est entrain de mélanger?
Fantastic and unique idea u have
Why don't you attach the fabric to a rectangular frame? With thumbtacks .
For this technique the fabric becomes very wet and will stretch and say in a frame so it is easier to work on a flat surface. If you were using silk and gutta liner then you would be able to stretch that fabric for that style of crackle.
E como tira essa massa do tecido?Achei fantastico!!🤩🤩 🤩So sabia fazer isso com parafina! Gratidão por compartilhar.😘
Thanks a lot😍
nice effect especially on fabrics, but .. how does it behave after washing?
Once you've dried the flour and water you then apply the fabric colour. Let that dry. Iron on the back to set the colour. The flour and water will wash out with cold water leaving you the batik look. If you are nervous just take a small piece of cotton rich fabric and try it out. It's great fun.
@@colleenseymourcrafts5802 thanks
@@andzelikaniklewicz1621 I used fabric paint which is washable. However if you were making something that did not need to be washed e.g. a wall hanging you could use acrylic paints. I hope this is helpful.
@@colleenseymourcrafts5802 thank you sooo much !
Can I do this on a hoodie?
Theoretically yes, BUT your hoodie will have to be made of cotton rich fabric to the paint will not wash out and the fabric will need to be a lighter colour than the colour you are going to paint over it. Test a little on the inside turnover of the hoodie first if you are unsure.
Which flour did you took?
I just used plain cake flour
will it wash off?
I think that you are asking whether the flour and water will wash off. Yes it will BUT make sure you iron the back of the fabric with a hot dry iron to set the paint BEFORE you wash the flour off. This will ensure that you don't lose some of the colour.
Would it be possible to wool？？
I'm not sure it would work on wool because of the texture. Maybe try a small piece to test it. Let me know what happens I would be interested to hear.
is there a way to keep the resist onto the fabric, to create a texture
If you are doing mixed media, as opposed to painting a table cloth, I would think that you could leave the resist on. You might want to paint a sealer such as Mod Podge over either the front or even the back to make it stay on as in time it might start to flake off. However if you are painting a table cloth it is going to wash off when you launder it. I hope this helps
Hi! Can I use a silk fabric? Valentina fabric to get this effect? Or is it only silk fabric?
Hi Hasini I usually use a cotton fabric ( like calico or a lightweight twill) but I don't see why it would not work on silk. My only suggestion would be that because silk is such a thin fine fabric I would do a few tests before doing a large piece.
Which type of colours u used?
Hi there I used transparent fabric paints / transparent silkscreen inks...same thing. Thanks so much for watching.
Very cool! Will this work with cornstarch?
Hi there...I've just uploaded a video on how this works with cornstarch. It is a little different in how you prepare the mixture, and the crackle is finer but it does work well.
@@colleenseymourcrafts5802 Neato! I'll check that out!

Pl share the link with cornstarch.
@@KalpanaImaginationArtandEngPoe ua-cam.com/video/LQ6vMC9JIRM/v-deo.html hi there here is the link for the video with the cornstarch.
What type of colorhas used
Hi there I worked on cotton and I used fabric paints because they are washable. Make sure that you follow the instructions for the fabric paints before you take the crackle off. Usually you iron on the back of your painted design to set the paints. All the best.

Can I use acrylic paint? Thanks!
I would only use acrylic paint for this if the item doesn't need to be washed eg a piece of artwork. Acrylic paint will start to fade more quickly than fabric paint.
