Beautiful and informative - this is all you need!,
By
This review is from: Batik: For Artists and Quilters (Hardcover)
Having done a batik in a craft class in school years ago, I was really interested in doing more, but couldn't find a class in the city (NYC!). I bought this book and everything in it is beautiful artwork, inspiring and really lovely. Aside from being a book depicting the beautiful and intricate work that can be done with batik, this turns out to be a detailed guidebook on how to take on batik and do it in your own home. With step by step pictures about the dying process, detailed information on waxing techniques and options, this book is all you need to get to start doing batik in your own home. I HIGHLY recommended it if you're looking to try batik yourself!

This review is from: Batik: For Artists and Quilters (Hardcover)
This is not your standard hippy type batik. The work in here is incredible. I have never seen anything like it, and I've seen most of the books on batik that are out there. The artists featured are fantastic. The book has extensive information on working with wax and other resists, removing the resists, using different types of dyes. I highly recommend it.I already have all the materials, had them for years, didn't know where to start. This will help me get going.
