<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PortableTreasures, post: 1510944, member: 10237&quot;]Batik is a fabric made using wax resist methods. The artist paints hot wax onto the fabric and lets it cool, then dips the fabric into dye. Everything under the wax will not take or (or will resist) the dye). The artist works using multiple passes of wax and dyes until the final image is reached. The wax on the fabric is then ironed off. That crackling effect you see in the background to the mushrooms is achieved my deliberately cracking the wax a little to let lines of dye in and to add texture to the image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
