Well, the first prototype of my handmade Delta Rune hanging is done, and tacked up behind my (temporary) altar that has nothing on it! Well, maybe now that the sigil of my patron goddess is before me at all times when I'm on my computer, I will start doing more practical witchcraft at that altar. :] https://witches.town/media/_Pd_8RuFjtULFglp-H8 https://witches.town/media/yGhzrcBVy1gZEGGUg_4
I am judging this experiment a modest success. There was some bleed-through, probably where I'd not applied enough wax resist, and the cheapass Rit dye didn't "take" very well, but otherwise the method worked basically the way I wanted. next experiments will be with different dyeing methods (I have some gentian violet that I intend to try using) and also I want to see if liquid waxes (for floors or cars or whatnot) could be used directly to make the wax-resist mask.
#creativetoot also I want to see if I can put the escutcheon around the Delta Rune symbols using a different dyeing method.
@kara_dreamer time to start working on spells / rituals ;3
@mona Gee...thanks, horse. *hugs tightly, getting misty-eyed* I don't feel like I get a lot done, but I got this done.
@kara_dreamer That is gorgeous! WELL DONE!
@Ulfra_Wolfe thanks wolf-mom *hugs*
(slightly tempted to offer to make these for folks, cos now I've got the stencil and can start cranking them out faster if I wanted)
@kara_dreamer that is lovely... and a very good inspiration for me to work on my own craft project darnit. XD so thank you! (and my muse thanks you because hie's tired of kicking my brain to get me moving)
@green now that is lovely to hear <3 glad I could inspire!

Some photographs. The beeswax needed to dry overnight, outside (I'm the only one in the household who enjoys the smell of turpentine) before I judged it was hard enough. Cooked the cloth for 30 min at middling heat (not enough even to simmer) with ¼ cup Rit liquid purple dye and ½ cup pickling salt in the bath. Then rinsed, laundered (hot-cold, permanent press) and tumble-dried (permanent press). The dye did fade somewhat; also the rest of the beeswax-turpentine solution congealed on standing :/ https://witches.town/media/USLCvQpxYy-AWRQH0qw https://witches.town/media/3ePsRBC97yukuG5j7KE https://witches.town/media/cwRMLAG2OPllniLlv5M
