A complete and richly illustrated survey of batik, a glorious textile art and approved Indonesian cloth.
Every aspect of batik is rich in symbolism: its colors, motifs, and designs, as well as the way it is made, folded, and the worse for wear.

Fiona Kerlogue explores the origins of batik in the Indonesian archipelago; the materials and methods of television; regional traditions and differences; motifs and symbolism, including Malay, Chinese, and Islamic meanings; latest influences, such as industrialization, war, and independence; batik as traditional and current costume; and batik as an art form.

Product Description
This colorful, hands-on guide explores many different waxing and dyeing techniques, explaining how to fabricate beautiful flowers, trees, birds, animals, landscapes, and outline designs.
Can you explain to me the method of batik?
Wax (Javanese: malam) is applied to things of the clergy, before being dipped in dye. It is common for people to use a mixture of beeswax and paraffin. The beeswax will hold the fabric and the paraffin wax will be cracking, which is a characteristic of batik. When the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will not penetrate. Sometimes several colors are used, with a series of dyeing, drying and waxing steps.
