::The process Of Batik::

BATIK PROCESS…….

1. Melt the WAX and RESIN in 50%-50% ratio in a

bowl with heater.

2. Fill the CANTING with the mixture of WAX and RESIN

3. Draw the wax on a white fabric. The fabric can be cotton or silk. The process has to be fast and accurate because the wax will cool down fast and cannot be corrected once applied

4. By using the color brush, artist paint the enclosed area with the needed colors. Sometimes, clean water is used to produce shading effect. 5. When the color is dry completely, apply a layer of sodium silicate on the fabric to fix the color and leave it for at least 4 hours The colors will be durable and will not fade easily. 6. Put some SODA in the water and boil the fabric for few minutes. The wax will be removed from the fabric. 7. Hang the fabric for drying. A piece of batik is created. .
