'A more exclusive version of Super-Wax, rich in colours and bubbling, and printed with a gloss finish. The most defining (and beloved) feature of a Super-Wax is its duo-colour “bubbling” print effect...
...Grand Super-Wax is a luxurious twist on the original, using Vlisco cotton satin. Grand Super-Wax is made using a highly-unique wax printing technique unlike any other in the world: every piece is created with an unequalled and extraordinary level of care and precision.
First, a design in liquid wax is printed on cotton satin. A base dye such as indigo soaks into the cloth around the wax, leaving behind a deep, intense colour. The magic of the ‘wax-breaking’ during the printing process results in a large, irregular pattern of vein-like bubbles throughout the design.
One single piece of Grand Super-Wax goes through an average of 27 total step before it receives a final gloss finish, and a select number of Grand Super-Wax fabrics are covered from edge-to-edge in transparent glitter.'
I made this for the Block-Print Inspired challenge! The cats were my second attempt at a block print style- the first didn't really sell the look. I made four custom cat brushes and used them for several designs, but the simple cat stack here won out. In these colors, they kinda remind me of jellybeans!
A couple of colorways for Clouded Tiger that I particularly like. I do love that golden color, it's really useful when you're trying to tie ccontrasy colors together in a design.
