How is the batik art creation made?
1. Draw design patterns on cotton cloth.
2. Melt some wax and use a professional tool to apply it to the areas of the fabric where you don't want the dye to penetrate.
3. Immerse the fabric in a natural plant dye bath for a certain period of time, depending on the desired intensity of the color.
4. Boil the fabric to remove the wax.
5. Repeat the process from 2 if you want to add additional colors or designs.
6. Rinse the fabric in cold water.
7. Hang the fabric to dry.
✿ The wax cracks during handling, the cracks in the wax allow the dye to reach the fabric creating the unique batik effect. It's called a "ice crackling". "ice crackling" is considered to be a hallmark of traditional batik techniques. People often see the "ice crackling" as an important part of its beauty and appeal.
