Técnica interessantíssima e milenar, o batik se caracteriza pelo uso da parafina/estearina e continua sendo um "must" no aprendizado da pintura em seda. O microcraquelado, resultado da utilização de cubos de gelo na finalização do trabalho, é mais uma das belas características dessa técnica milenar.

Each classic design takes 2-3 months to hand draw and color through a series of wax-resist dying phases. This meticulous process results in batik of the highest quality.
The design was created using a wax-resist process in which the egg is dyed and then wax is written on the egg using a tool called a “kistka”. These steps are repeated until the last dye bath is used, then the wax is melted off to reveal the design.

Pretty cotton (100%) batik fabric with bird design on it. As mentioned in my blog, I can get more of these if anyone keen to trade (plus it would be a good excuse for me to pop over to say hi to the elderly couple who owns the shop)
Read how I found this fabric at spoiltforchoice.blogspot.com/2005/10/fabrics-galore.html
Sumatra is not known for batik like some other regions of Indonesia. I traveled a bit off the tourist track (well, even more so) to Jambi in order to see batik being made, and see how the Indonesian style is different than the Thai/Burmese style I'd been producing for a few years at my social enterprise Puzzlebox Art Studio. One of the biggest difference was that in Indonesia, the fabric is held in the hand while doing the wax resist designs rather than stretched on a frame. (but the reason for stretching fabric out in Thailand is that it's more common to do sweeping paintings rather than intricate patterns).
Another difference, which I didn't bother to shoot on film as obviously, I'd forgotten to load color, was that colors were always dip-dyed, while the style we did back home was painted on. (This again, is due to different design style in Thailand/Myanmar that doesn't allow proper coloration by dipping).
Nowadays, Indonesian batik in the malls are cheap as they are machine-imprinted. Check them- the the patterns are too uniform and perfect. There are more expensive traditional batik fabrics and the giveaway are the imperfections in the slight overlap or blur at the edges. These are made of these batik copper stamps that are manually pressed on cloth by trained men artisans. A bolt of fabric is first run through with pattern 1 and then the succeeding stamps are used in some other colors.
The more elaborately original and deliriously wild batik is actually painted by hand by women. Some Japanese kimonos are actually handpainted Indonesian silk batik and a 17-meter bolt that takes 3 months to complete is sold wholesale for ~$1,200.

All done and the binding will be in black to match the black in the four patches. I love batiks and I love Log Cabins, so this was great fun! Pictures & comments in Piecing 2015 Set 1.
