Pieced top, Tradewinds pattern, without borders using Hoffman Bali Pops. This was so much fun to put together.
The word "batik" (pronounced "ba-teek") is Indonesian and means "wax writing". Briefly, the process involves brushing on melted paraffin and beeswax so it penetrates specific portions of the fabric. The waxed fabric is then dipped into or painted with wet dyes. The waxed areas repel or "resist" the dyes; thus the term "resist" process is applied in reference to batik. Each time a new dye color is introduced on the fabric, portions of that color are waxed and held until the desired color scheme is achieved. Dye colors are applied to the fabric from light to dark, as they overlap, creating new colors as they combine. The darkest color is last, and finally all the wax is removed by ironing the fabric between paper or steaming; the heat of the iron melts the wax which is absorbed by the paper.

These Batiks brightened the entrance and hallways of our school. Topic for our all-school unit was The Carribean".
We call her Batik because of her crazy spots. She's one of Bubu's "daughters"
Zeetz Jones posted this very interesting trivia:
We call this kind Calico Cat with their tri-color. And most of them are female. I read it somewhere and here's what I found too...
Contrary to popular belief, a calico cat is not a specific breed of cat. It is instead an unusual pattern of coloring that can occur in many different breeds, including Manx, Persian, and Domestic Short-Hair cats. To be considered a calico cat, a cat must be tri-colored, with patches of white, red or orange, and black fur. Some breeds have rules as to what percentage of the cat's fur must be white for it to be called a calico cat.
Calico cats are nearly always female. This is due to the genes for the orange or black color being on the X chromosome. Female cats have two X chromosomes, while male cats have an X and a Y chromosome. Therefore, the mother cat passes the X chromosome on to her kittens, while the father passes either the X or Y chromosome, thus determining the kittens’ sex. To be a calico cat, the kitten must have an X chromosome that has the orange color and an X chromosome that has the black color. Male calico cats are genetic anomalies, with XXY chromosomes and are sterile and extremely rare.
Throughout history, many cultures have considered the calico cat to be lucky. At one point in Japan, a calico cat was thought to bring good luck in the house and to protect sailors on their ships. The calico cat was adopted as the Maryland state cat on 1 October 2001 because its colors of black, white, and orange are the same as the Baltimore Oriole and the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly; the state bird and insect, respectively.

Batik has been both an art and a craft for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there.
Melted wax (Javanese: malam) is applied to cloth before being dipped in dye. It is common for people to use a mixture of beeswax and paraffin wax. The beeswax will hold to the fabric and the paraffin wax will allow cracking, which is a characteristic of batik. Wherever the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will not penetrate. Sometimes several colours are used, with a series of dyeing, drying and waxing steps.
Batik is a cloth that traditionally uses a manual wax-resist dyeing technique.
Balinese batik was influenced by neighbouring Javanese Batik and is relatively recent compared to the latter island, having been stimulated by the tourism industry and consequent rising demand for souvenirs (since the early 20th century). In addition to the traditional wax-resist dye technique and industrial techniques such as the stamp (cap) and painting, Balinese batik sometimes utilizes ikat (tie dye). Balinese batik is characterized by bright and vibrant colors, which the tie dye technique blends into a smooth gradation of color with many shades.
