I don't really like the way this came out, but the process was fun. To make this, you start out with a design on paper and then you can trace it with pencil onto the linen. After that, you go over the pencil with hot wax, which is more difficult than it sounds. After the design is traced over with wax, you can add different colored dyes. After you add the dye, you just iron the wax off. I wish I had done something more abstract, it would have been easier to use the wax if I wasn't so worried about making the design resemble this dog.
