The first image is the image left on the board I used in the batik-ing process - it was the board that the cloth was taped to - and where I applied the ink to the cloth and where I applied the wax to the cloth - the second and third images are computer enhanced copies of the first image. The fourth image is the impression left on the paper towel when I melted the was from the cloth with a steam iron.  While the fifth image is a computer enhanced version of image number four.
