07 Jul 2020 Indian Ethnic Batik Designer Scarves

You may have heard the word “batik” before, but what does it actually mean?

Batik is an ancient art which uses wax and dyes to create a visual magic on fabrics. A Batik creation involves 3 basic steps – waxing, dyeing, and scraping (removing).  In the first step, the wax is used for creating designs on certain areas on the fabric. Secondly, the fabric is dyed and then the wax is removed by scraping or by boiling the cloth so that the wax peels off. The result is a beautiful piece of cloth with some very unconventional designs and typical cracking texture.
