How to do Batik

[austntexan]

Would you use this same process if you wanted to do batik on a leather piece? I was wondering how you'd pull the wax out without drying out the leather with the heat. Great video, thank you for sharing.

Vascinatumartierium, I will do some more reading, thanks. But have you noticed someone from China declares it's from China! Interesting debate seems to have been kicked off!

Anyway, you are right, in future I'll be a bit more rigourous before I post!

[lzubairy]

Ashleyflower, thanks for the further advice. Would like to share how you ARE supposed to get the wax off then?

[lzubairy]

Ok guys, I get the message, it's obviously from Indonesia! That's fine! I made this video some years ago now just to help my OWN yr 7 classes get off the ground level. It has been very useful for that and when I posted it for my colleague's use I had no idea it would take off so spectacularly. Apologies to the nation of Indonesia (I have visited actually!) I'm loathe to take the video down though as the instructional part has clearly been of use to quite a lot of people.

[ashleyflower]

You aren't supposed to iron it off..it leaves a greasy looking stain and it's impossible to remove from your pieces. 

[vascinatumartilerium]

please do research before posting such this misleading video. Batik is orginally from indonesia. And it has got acknowlegement from UNESCO.

The dyeing technique might be from china as it is one of the most early civilization in the world, but the term "batik" is absolutely from indonesia.

please do clarify it !

[batikindonesiacom]

This is a lovely videos. Batik Indonesia is certainly the source, as it's been assigned by UNESCO

The narrater sound so old fashioned! Loved the bit about being careful not to splash wax on any soft sensitive parts of your anatomy! XD

[kitty3309]

@lzubairy Oh yes, it was a compliment. You remind me of the narraters that were on the school programmes we used to watch when we were little :D

Batik is from China, they use xjanting and malam to produce it. In addition, Batik is so popular in China, where everyone wear batik. Furthermore, batik has become the national costume of China alongside cheongsam

[faisalfarissi]

@anoable no,batik is from indonesia (java).

Do you have to put the wax on both sides or just on one? Do you need special wax (or can you use plain candle wax? Is a there specific cloth recommended, or opposite, are there some you would say it doesn't work well with?

[lzubairy]

Wax only goes on one side but it does seep right through on its own sometimes if you put enough on..

Any old wax, as long as it doesn't have a dye in it that will stain the fabric where you don't intend..

Juat make sure the cloth will take the dye you are using - so natural is best - cotton, wool, silk. A cotton/polyester mix will work but the dye will be more muted. And the hot wax MIGHT melt the polyester. Be careful there!

[Kwizii]

Thank you so so much! :)

I will try this weekend!

[fettuccinetube]

OH! THAT´s how you do it!
