I love soy wax batik. I mean, love it. I haven't been doing a lot of it lately and it was on my mind that I wanted to pull out the pots and wax again when Susan Purney Mark announced that her new DVD on the subject had just come out:
It took me about a nano second to order it.
I've long been a fan of Susan's work, she has an incredible eye for color and I'm excited to be able to learn more about this technique from her. (Isn't it great how all you have to do is order something online and then it shows up in the mailbox and you become so much smarter? I love it, the world is so accessible now.)
Here's a preview of what's on the DVD:
Soy Wax Inspirations • Susan Purney Mark - Movie Trailer from Andrew Galli on Vimeo.
It. Is. Awesome.
And Susan very kindly sent me an extra copy to give away on the blog! So you've got a chance to win this incredible workshop for free!
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and on Monday May 6 I'll announce the winner. Happy commenting! :)

I have started to experiment with mixed media techniques on fabric and would love to learn more about the soy wax batik technique!
This looks like a friendly way to do batiks. Worth to learm
N more. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
I have some soy wax but need to try playing with it. It's not well known over here in France.
I've not done any batik, but the depth of those fabrics on the cover is beautiful!
I would love to win this DVD! I have been dabbling in soy wax batik for awhile now, but would love to learn more!
Just from the into video it looks easy and fun. She sounds like a great teacher. Thank you for this chance.
I've played around with soy wax, but I'd love to learn more!

Well who would not comment! Talk about a cool playtime & learning something new!!! Love to have this in my collection & it might get me in the "Lynn/heap?/cleanup" mode!lots of fabrics need to be touched again
wow! Looks like a wonderfully info packed dvd! Here is hoping!!! ;)
I love batiks! It would be so awesome to make my own!

Need to update my batik technique and this sounds like a good way to do so. Would love to have this DVD.
What fun! I have played a bit with soy wax, but she really makes it look accessible as well as beautiful.
I have not had much success with soy wax, thought I love the idea of it. Perhaps a little instruction from this DVD would be good for me!!!
I have done soy wax batik a few times so I know I could benefit from Susan DVD. Thanks for the opportunity.
oooooh, would LOVE this DVD! I'm so with you of loving the mail-order-to-smarter path!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, I would dearly love to give this a try!
I enjoy the ease of soy wax batik and would love to win this DVD! Thanks for the chance:)
I took a class from Cozy Bendosky I'm not sure that is the correct spelling, over 10 years ago and have never forgotten it. She taught some, not all, of the techniques on this dvd and I have wanted ever since to get another class like that. Having a dvd, so I could not forget how to accomplish the techniques, would be even better. I have been afraid to try regular wax batik, but this sounds so much more friendly. You don't mention the cost of the dvd. Perhaps those of us who do not win it could buy it ourselves.
Thanks,
Sandy
Funny how things just pop up possibly giving you a direction. Just last night I was thinking about wanting to purchase some soy wax flakes to experiment with batik and the first blog I see this morning is yours with this post. Please throw my hat in the ring and I'll squinch my eyes real tight and wish hard...because Sunday is my birthday. hint hint lol
A great giveaway!

I've played with soy wax, but I'm sure it would be extremely helpful to learn from someone with experience. Please throw my name in for a chance to win.
I would love to win this - I totally understand why it only took you a nano-second to order it!!! I've done regular wax batik (ages ago!) and gave up because I no longer have access to the facilities to do it properly - I've looked into soy wax batik but haven't been brave enough to try it yet. I love her work & this DVD looks exciting!
This looks wonderful and I know Sue is a great teacher. I would love a copy!
You know me, anytime I can melt stuff I am sooooo on board!!
