I can remember creating Batik, years ago. Its always so amazing to see the final results and the slight imperfections which tell that the fabric was created by the hand of an artist. This is a great video which is well planned out and executed. I'm amazed you wore light colored clothing while working with the dyes and hot wax. You are one brave woman! Thank you for sharing this video with all of us.
I love Batik. They use to sell them at the swapmeets in South Florida. It was big to wallcover instead of wallpaper. Then decorate around with lights, beads, other paint colors than white. I thought it was gorgeous. But really, I quickly learned... it's for those with a liberal taste for house decorating. Lolz. Nice video.
Haiii.., im happy to see the proses batik painting.., but i wiill ask what the colour use ? Ussually i make napthol, indigisol and remasol in my place ( java - indonesia ).. thank 🖒🖒🖒. Bravo batik 😊
hello :) thanks for the amazing video. if you dont mind me asking , and..why you mix urea when you make dye bath? also i am so curious about why you mix salt, and bicarbonate soda too :) oh, and how many water have to mix with wax..?
I love batik too and I studied it at Yogyakarta in Indonesia some years ago. I just started once again and accidentally dropped blobs of wax from my tjanting on my work. Any tips on how to get rid of them? Thank you
This is a wonderful video but please correct for your viewers the instructions regarding the use of BICARBONATE of SODA (aka Baking Soda); Procion or Fiber Reactive dyes can really only be properly fixed with Sodium CARBONATE (aka Soda Ash). Sodium Bicarbonate pH is too low to allow for proper fixation of the dyes.
