How is the batik art creation made?
1. Draw design patterns on cotton cloth.
2. Melt some wax and use a professional tool to apply it to the areas of the fabric where you don't want the dye to penetrate.
3. Immerse the fabric in a natural plant dye bath for a certain period of time, depending on the desired intensity of the color.
4. Boil the fabric to remove the wax.
5. Repeat the process from 2 if you want to add additional colors or designs.
6. Rinse the fabric in cold water.
7. Hang the fabric to dry.

The wax cracks during handling, the cracks in the wax allow the dye to
reach the fabric creating the unique batik effect. It's called a "ice
crackling". "ice crackling" is considered to be a hallmark of
traditional batik techniques. People often see the "ice crackling" as an
important part of its beauty and appeal.
