Batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique on textile, is a traditional art form from Indonesia.
I regret that I never attended one of those batik workshops when I was still living in Yogyakarta and learn more about the techniques to create such beautiful patterns. I made this one with Adobe Illustrator.
Read my blog post about this batik pattern.
Batik is a wax-resist dyeing technique used on fabric. Batik is found in several countries. The island of Java in Indonesia is famous for its batik. Melted wax is applied to cloth before being dipped in dye. Wherever the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will not penetrate. Sometimes several colors are used, with a series of dyeing, drying and waxing steps.

Six years in the making. Well, kind of. I bought this as a kit at the Road to Cali Quilt Show in 2006 ... pieced the top that summer and just put it together and quilted it this year. I didn't like it as a top when I first finished it, but loved working with the batik fabric and decided that I liked it better quilted. Which happens a lot with me. The tops are kind of blah until quilted.
Blocks all sewn together. :) My SIL Cynthia and I each did 10 blocks, then cut them up and sewed them into a DPN. Quilt is for a friend who gave us a few boxes of fabric from her grandmother.
Box pouch, made from assorted batiks. While I generally don't like batiks, I really like the design on this one. I love the geometric pattern, along with the streaks of teal, yellow, orange and pink. I used a navy blue zipper that goes well with the navy blue base of the fabric.
I was lucky to find this patch of garden at a park that nicely matches the bag's colour scheme. We have about a month before the flowers will start to fade.
On this box pouch I experimented with the dimensions. I didn't precut the sides, but instead cut them out after I did the end seams. It lets me be more flexible about the final dimensions, without having to do all the math beforehand.

We were not allowed to take pictures here. I don't know why. We probably had to buy something first. This bad girl managed some secret shots ;)
Matang Village, located roughly 18 kilometers north of the city of Kaili, is a Gejia ethnic minority village. The Gejia (alternatively, Ge Jia) are classified as a subgroup of the Miao ethnic minority,
Very little is really known about the Gejia, apart from the fact that they specialize in batik, and that they, not unlike the various other ethnic minorities in the region, are fond of colorful clothing, which colorful clothing includes everyday attire as well as festival costumes.
Matang Village's Gejia girls begin to learn the art of batik (the art of dyeing multi-colored patterns in stages by applying melted wax to the areas where one does not wish the given color to appear, as the wax prevents the dye from penetrating) at a very tender age – as young as 7–8 years old – and become adept at it by the time they reach adulthood.
Gejia Batik is purchased the world over – as well as by tourists to the region, who can often score a bargain on the spot. Some of the more common items of Gejia batik include women's jackets, coats, dresses and a corset-like vest to be worn over a blouse, while batik suspenders are a typical men's item. Other everyday applications of Gejia batik include curtains, quilt covers, tablecloths and place mats.
In addition to being specialists in the art of batik, the Gejia ethnic minority of Matang Village are also skilled at embroidery.

The mariner's compass print was I believe a Timeless Treasure print and I fussy cut the Mariner's Compasses and made them fit in 12 1/2 inch squares by surrounding them with different size strips of other batiks
