popular Batik (javan. "mbatik" = write with wax) is a very old
'reservation technique', in which samples and/or surfaces are recorded on the fabric by means of molten wax and thus covered and therefore are not rinsed in the colour bath during the subsequent dyeing of the fabric and thus retain their original colour.
Whenever you buy something from a small company, somewhere a real person dances a big dance of joy...
This BATIK lamp was handmade by me from the beginning until the completion:
x Reserve motif by means of wax application with pure beeswax from beekeepers from the region
x Colour bath with local dyeing plants from your own garden
x the surfaces to retain this first colour are again reserved with wax after drying the fabric
x then a color bath follows again
x these two steps (apply wax for reserving and coloring the rest of the fabric) are repeated as often as desired
x is colored from light to dark, because it is colored over it (you could also bleach...)
x Ironing or boiling to remove the wax
x Sewing together
x also the lamp scaffolding made of wood springs from my hands
Sounds simple, is simple in itself, but very time-consuming due to several color aisles and wax jobs!
