I have only done batik once, and it was for a handkerchief size cloth.hehe You should definitely boil the wax out, as that is most effective, and it is actually the traditional way of doing it also :)<br /><br />See me batik-ing here (one pic only):<br />http://curiousmama.tumblr.com/post/21431674804/133-kartini-membatik-grand-city-surabaya-takenAdisty K.http://www.curiousmama.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-39580925205730235042012-07-25T11:59:01.833-04:002012-07-25T11:59:01.833-04:00Argh!!

My response - If you hadn't said anything it looks like that was done on purpose, do you know how much a store would have charged for something like that? You can "mess" one up for me on purpose, if I had one I would definitely wear that to work!!! I love the lining on the skirt too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-59657190752845177682012-07-15T08:00:58.333-04:002012-07-15T08:00:58.333-04:00Jumping on the bandwagon to say wow - really beaut...Jumping on the bandwagon to say wow - really beautiful and inspiring! I've had one of those 70's books on batik lurking around for years, and one point even bought an old fondue maker for the purpose of heating wax, but sadly have never got round to it (like everything else). Thanks for showing just how stunning the results can be!!

I do a lot of dyeing and I am definitely going to try your method of batik. I have always been too intimidated by the tjanting and wax, but your method seems easier, and more fun.

Even after ironing out the wax there can still be a little waxy residue.
