Batik normally uses for sarong, around 2m, which man and woman wrap around their lower body wear like a skirt.
Can also use as bath towel, pareo at beach, baby rap, etc. So many use!
But... I accidentally cut this short as 1m.... 😅 So anything you could think of will do great with this piece! Handkerchief, just frame and hang, pillow case, bag etc😊
Batik has many way of making it. In Malaysia where I am staying, don't dip the entire fabric into pigments.
In stead, it is done exactly like a water color painting using the frame to pull every edges to make it tight, use brush to color and can do blend, tone and all those techniques. So I draw a line with wax, then colored in with any colors I want. The white boxes will be kept white together with the waxed lines.
I haven't done cracking technique yet, wish I could try one day!!!

Wow! This work look very beautiful and creative!
Thank you so much @sweettais!!😄😄😄
I really like the colours, @naomipangolin...
If it's batik, does that mean the 'white sections' have got wax on ?
The type of batik I'm familiar with has a 'crackling' effect. So will you be doing that as well to your piece ?
Thank you for your comment @cryptocariad!
