Critique my Batik - Other Crafts

Woofmutt, I think you're right about the color fields being too small and/or detailed. The somewhat muted colors don't provide enough contrast between the red and the yellow. The pocket tikis were supposed to be miniature versions of the back, but my tjanting (wax applying tool) was too big and everything ran together. Like painting with a firehose. Babalu, funny you should ask. My son-in-law has a MIG/TIG welder and a CNC plasma cutter. I don't know how to use either but I've got plans for a metal volcano patio fire-pit for this winter. I'll keep trying until I either find something I'm good at or become woefully incompetent at EVERYTHING! :lol:
