Batik... a great form of fabric art for your arts and crafts business!

Batik is a form of "resist" art.. It is when you control the colours of dye in your fabric by resisting the dye with wax...

You would dye your lightest colour first, then paint melted wax (you have to be very careful with this step) on the areas that you do not want to dye the next colour, and you keep going. You then remove the wax with a iron and newsprint or there are other ways described in the below books.. This makes a great art piece!...

Above are a good selection of books that I have organized from Amazon, just click the arrows to move the carousel, and then just click on any title for more information, or to search further.. and get batiking!
