They have better resists now days, so you don't have to deal with all the wax problems, that in itself adds a few problems. I've done it and had a lot of fun at it. But, is very time and space consuming.

When discharging with bleach, which is what the bleach pens do, you have to make sure to use a stop bath (anti-chlor, hydrogen peroxide, or white vinegar) to stop the action of the bleach. Otherwise it will eat through the fabric over time. Rinsing with water alone is not enough. Not a good idea at all to write on the back of a finished quilt with a bleach pen.

I have no idea if there are any left, but Dharma Trading recently got a shipment of brass batik stamps from Bali. They are awesome but pricey - like $50 and up. You need to be serious about using them to pay those prices.

(google dharma trading co for the website)

Artist don't see a mess or know time. It's the process that consumes them. Amazing people.
