Definition of Batik: a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual wax-resist dyeing technique (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batik)

Batik
1. Firstly, wear away an apron to prevent either spills of sweltry wax ruining your pretty clothes and wear gloves (optional) if you are a very clumsy.
2. Then use the tjanting (a prospicient stick with a sort of miniature teacup and stock up at one end used to pelt hot liquid wax on fabric) to scoop up well-nigh hot wax. Wipe the excess wax on hardly a(prenominal) tissue and make sure the wax is able to ladder steadily through the spr come forward.
3. Next, carefully sketch a few squiggly and straight lines to test your skills and BE wary to not spill any spots of wax as they do not get dyed.
4. Practice makes perfect so utilise, PRACTICE AND PRACTICE!
5. When you are ready, gingerly draw your design. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL ANY WAX
6. Leave the wax to juiceless for a while.



Dont worry- the wax dries very readily!

dying(p)
1. First of all, wear an apron as you wont spill any colours on your clean clothes.
2. Afterwards, pour a tiny amount of colour onto your palette as it spreads quite far on your fabric. Dilute with water if necessary.
3. Dying is just like painting so get out your paintbrush and paint the desired areas. You will notice that you cant dye the wax.
4. As soon as you are complete and satisfied leave to your masterpiece to dry.
