Description: Batik art is a method of textile design related to a dye resistance process. The traditional method involves the application of hot wax onto the fabric in intricate designs. The fabric is then dipped into dye and then the wax (or parts of it) are removed and then dyed again. When the wax hardens, the fabric is submerged in dye. The wax prevents the dye from reaching the fibers. The fabric is then boiled to remove the wax. This is done over and over to create desired design. These 2 batiks were made by African natives and presented to a missionary. They were donated to a fund-raiser for African animals in 1996 and purchased thru auction.
