The Batik process is unfamiliar to many people and whenever I try to explain it, I sometimes get bogged down in the details. It can be a long process, the way I do it. But this time of year, I am reminded of Easter Eggs, and how that process is very much like what I do with Batik- except I am not painting the wax on eggs, I use fabric. The process is repeated several times to create the intricate layers of color and design that make a finished batik unique.
Happy Easter, and Passover to all!
