It is ...I use an ancient art process called batik. It is traditionally used as a dye process for fabrics and textiles but I use it to create fine art. It is done on cotton and each color is created by dipping in a vat of dye and then fixed. Molten wax is used to preserve the color and additional dye baths blend to create new colors.<br /><br />On this piece, I started with blue and protected that area with wax. I then dipped the fabric in yellow (not green) as yellow and the already blue fabric create the perfect green. This one only required 4 dye baths but the wheat batiks in the older posts required 7-8.<br /><br />I am working on a FB and blog post that will show the step by step process. Stayed tuned. https://www.facebook.com/artbatik<br /><br />You work is beautiful Joddi.
