Lifted
What it is
Paraffin sits on top of the weave; the dye in a coloured dinner candle melts into the fibres around each drip.
How fast it sets
Forgiving, if nobody rubs it.
Lift with
Iron + brown paper
wicks melted wax
How we lift it
- Harden it with an ice cube and lift the flakes off.
- Iron on low through brown paper; the wax wicks into the paper. Move the paper, repeat.
- Dab the pink shadow of dye with alcohol, then wash.
Never
Scraping it warm, which rubs it into the weave.
