Floral-patterned Grand Super-Wax fabric by Vlisco
'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.'

Started as an example for a 2nd grade lesson on Alma Woodsey Thomas, ended up making it somewhat different.

Hi, I have a question about bone dyeing.
(Thank you for answering my previous question)
If you draw on eggs with wax of some kind before you dye them it seals that part of the shell and the design is left the original egg colour.
Do you think a similar thing could be done on bones? Or are they too porous?
I still have yet to try that with eggs! really want to though.
I have seen folks use the same method for bones! Again i haven't tried myself but it does seem to work. Your last comment is something i am wondering as well. My assumption is that the state of the bone can influence how well the designs come out, more porous maybe making the design lines less crisp? I would love if any folks who have tried this could chime in and let us know!

Results from dyeing the fabric with a solution consisting of both tea and coffee. I’m really happy with how this turned out, I wanted the fabric to still retain its initial appearance but darkening it ever so slightly so that the design would still be visible.

as someone who grows a lot of it im glad that this site is so positive about body hair but tbh i dont love the memes about how unshaved body hair looks sooo much better than shaved and how if you shave youre weak or whatever. like idk i could not possibly care less about how my body hair looks to other people, but i do shave various areas for physical comfort reasons because i don't really like the feel of hair even on my head... and that's fine! theres a lot of reasons someone might shave that have nothing to do with beauty standards
