BATIK RESIST - Batik is an ancient Japanese process of applying hot wax to fabric. Fabric is then dyed, causing the areas that are covered by wax to resist the dye while the exposed areas receive the marvelous color. The process continues by adding another layer of wax and another layer of dye until the piece reaches the desired effect. When the wax is removed the mystery is revealed and a beautiful, one of a kind piece of fabric is yours to quilt, sew, frame, or drape.
