Vol-069 Faux Batik Technique Veneers Slabs Beads Pendants Earrings

Cindy - this is one of the best, MAYBE the best, tutes you have ever made. Love it!

~Patt-W

Wow I am so excited. I have been trying to figure out this technique. Thank you so much for making this available.

~Cassandra-W

I love batik and have done some place mats and some material for a friend when we were in high school - long time ago. I used fabric dyes of course and wax. She used the material to sew herself a top. Love making tasseled pendants too and with this technique there will be so many more ideas.

~Cherie-H

Me, too, Cherie! I had two pieces of quilted Batik wall hangings that won awards. One went to the Governor’s Show in Ohio and one went to Japan! So, glad Cindy got this polymer clay batik technique figured out for us!! Cindy... your pendant is amazing. The crackle is really unique.

~Catalina-L

You guys are going to freak out when you see how easy Cindy has made this new and original way of making this faux Batik. One of my fave things to do is make beads, and as you can see from the intro video, this technique works great for making beads.

~Sherry-L

Well, you know I love anything that looks like fabric, Cindy. This is a great treat!

~Monique-U

This totally blew my socks off! What an exciting series of tutes. Being an avid quilter I use batik fabrics extensively. To be able to transfer this technique to polymer clay is just the most exciting thing. I had no idea this was even doable but leave it to Cindy to come up with a way.

~DixieAnn-S

Love, love Batik!! Like Dixie Ann, I have batik fabric in my fabric drawer. Maybe I can copy some of the designs. Low tech wonder!!! Had to laugh - old ways are sometimes the best yet!!!! This is one of my all time favs. Thanks so much for spending the time to figure this out. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

~Patt-W

I've just watched this series and I am so excited. Lots of ideas flying around in my head. I almost bought a tutorial about batiking from somewhere else... sooooo glad I didn't. Thanks again, Cindy.

~Sandra-J

Love Batik, tie-dye etc. Us 'recycled hippys' never grow up. We just fade in the sunshine. If you are reading this, come and join the most informative, detailed tutorials you will ever see. PC Tutor is the best.

~Elaine-F

Wow! I adore this technique... leave it to you to come up with an original method, using white glue and egg whites. Thank you Cindy! This technique is the bomb!!!!!

~Jocelyn-C

Yes, my Mom and Dad trained at the School of Arts and they talked about egg white for a crackling effect too. My mom used to also make some special composition (not egg) and make textured frames for their paintings.

Hi Cindy, I was expecting a lot after watching your great YouTube videos for a long time, and I would like to say that I got more than I had expected now that I have purchased 2 of your back issues (Vol-069 Faux Batik and Vol-078 Faux Raku). Your videos are not only informative, but you also make easy to make difficult things.

~Margot-P

I love being able to design anything I want with the glue and using ink colors that I like. This is a very nice technique - reminded me of the raku look (if that’s the right name). Thank you Cindy, I enjoyed watching this video.

~Vivian-M

Cindy, what a great technique. I love batiks and have done it with wax and silk paints on material. I make sculptured fabric dolls, and this is great for making embellishments. Bye for now. Love to all. Back to Claying.

~Elizabeth-K

Love this technique Cindy. Thanks for your great videos!

~Shauna-B

I had a go yesterday, and I have to say, I really, really enjoyed it! An awesome technique, and so much fun!

~Helena-B

Hi Cindy, Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I have learned so much since I joined the Polymer Clay Tutor Community.

~Kay-B

I work as a machine quilter in a small town in Oklahoma, and my very favorite section of our wonderful quilt shop is the extensive batik collection. I was so excited to see this video series and tried it out immediately on some ink pen barrels. They turned out great

~Robin-S

I love your videos of the stunning polymer clay projects you make. Thank you very much for creating them.

~Nicky-G

Everything Cindy and her hubby Doug produce is very well planed out, and the close-ups are a huge, huge help. What ever you have a question about, type it into the search box at the blog, and be prepared to learn. Don't forget to read all the comments too... a lot of X-tra goodies and info there too.

~Sherry-L

I have to agree with Sherry Lewis, Cindy Lietz is a most wonderful teacher, together with her husband Doug they create fantastic videos. I own each and every one they ever made.

~Christl-P

This tutorial represents that "more bang for your buck" I'm always telling my friends about this Polymer Clay Tutor Community. If any of you out there are still only thinking about getting involve, DO IT! believe me you will not regret it. Thanks Cindy and Doug for another fantastic video series.

~DixieAnn-S

l now have several amazing, wonderful sheets of batik-ed clay making me go "oooh" and "aaah" ... it all worked an absolute treat! I mostly used stencils as l am not too good at freehand and they worked extremely well. I also dabbed with the blending pad and that was a success too, so l am a happy bunny!

~Carrie-H

Our fantastic Cindy spends hours figuring out, testing and trying different experiments until she gets it right. It is what makes this site so unique, not "half-baked" like many others who put freebies on U-Tube but give wrong info or only part of a technique. With Doug's camera work you can follow every step.

~Elaine-F

What a wonderful video this is, I love Batik and wanted to learn how to do it with polymer, and now I can do it. Thank you so much for such easy to follow and clear tutorials. So glad I found you.

~Beverly-R

Hi Cindy, I so enjoy watching your tutorials - addicted. Thanks again for your personal attention to each and every member- it certainly comes through when I read the member comments and Q&A.

~Laurie-M

In the past I've tried batik using artists' latex masking fluid, but it only worked on baked clay. When l saw Cindy had worked out this beautiful, realistic method l decided the day had come to get involved! I love the videos, Cindy and Doug - they are so clear and detailed.

~Carrie-H

This was an awesome tutorial very easy to do and the results are stunning. I am having some awesome results with your tutorials... they are the absolute best. I spend most of my days off with you :-)))) Keep them coming.

~Linda-C

Cindy, you are a really awesome teacher ,and this is a rare skill. Interesting and original, too. I'll be back for more. Thank you.

~Margot-P

What an original technique! Egg white …. who would have thought? The results look absolutely beautiful!!!!
