It seems like the crayon wax would act as a "resist" and at least partially block the dye.

Thanks for the tutorial, it is definitely going to get book marked!
Hi Linda from the West! I have done batik, but only with a block of wax. Not sure why crayons wouldn't work. Might be intetesting even if it doesn't block all of the dye out. Wow, I did my batik about a hundred years ago... Not sure I want to say how many 100 years ago... LOL :lol: :lol:

Linda from the East! (Washington State, that is) :-D
It was at least 35 years ago for me! :lol: :lol: :lol:
