Batik in crystal pattern unit

In my last unit I did some work in creating patterns from microscopic photos of natural sources e.g. crystals.
Here is an example of how I generated random natural ideas.
Here I used batik and  I then crumpled the wax and painted disperse dye into the cracks.
It created a crystal like pattern.
I scanned in the images and adjusted the hue, saturation and contrast on photoshop.
I then watermarked all of them.
This technique of batik was then used in my final project to make my scarves.
