What Is Batik? Magical Fiber Art Process Using Beeswax - Let's Paint Dresses
What is batik? It's a magical fiber art process using beeswax to paint designs on fabric. Yes, it is magical, as the best wax resist to use for batik is beeswax, provided to us by nature, and anything provided to us by nature is indeed magical.
Today we are painting a new dress design. This is the first step in this ancient fiber art technique, with many more steps to come. By the time the dresses are finished, they will be a totally different color. Stay tuned to see the progress. Once finished, these sweet summer boho dresses will be posted for sale online.
