Message: hi...is it possible to use roses for batiking...my daughter recently married and because of the distance and baggage allowance she was unable to bring with her any memoria of her wedding....my idea was to do a theo or something of the sort with their roses from her wedding....thank u for ur time

What do you mean by doing a theo? What is a theo?

How would you use the roses for batiking? Roses cannot be used as a dye, and they do not contain wax, either, so their only possible contribution would be as a source of the design.

A lovely way to incorporate your daughter's roses would be to photograph them, or press them and photograph the pressed flowers, then photocopy or computer print the photographs onto iron-on transfer paper. See http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/FAQ/flowerdye.shtml .
