An Early Morning Bath At the River ~ batik painting on cotton ~ Exotic India Art

“Wax painting is an art form dating back 2,000 years.  Wax Paintings were found in the tombs of Pharaohs and called  "mummy portraits". The Indonesian word “Batik” means “wax writing”. In our modern day society wax resist art is usually referred to as “Batik”. The process is also referred to as “Rozome” in Japan. The Japanese version of batik consists of direct application of dyes and wax on silk using silk painting techniques. The Indonesian technique, usually uses cotton or silk and the wax is melted and applied using brushes or tjanting tools to the areas that are to remain that particular color then cloth is  immersed into dyes and only the unwaxed areas accept the dye. This wax resist process of waxing out areas and dipping is repeated numerous times.  Tjanting tools are made of a wooden shaft with a metal reservoir with a tiny metal tube that allows wax to flow onto the fabric leaving  lines or dots. The waxed areas get bent and the cracks or fractures allow the dye to penetrate leaving fine lines of color referred to as “crackle” or “ice”. Janet refers to the crackle as the thumbprint of batik. Some batiks incorporate pastels, silk screening with fabric paint, acrylic paint, colored pencil and other mix media. The wax is removed through ironing the fabric between newsprint which absorbs the wax. The finished batik is dry mounted onto foam core, matted and framed.” ~ from Searfossdesigns

Elevate Your Wardrobe with Blockart's Indigo and Batik Print Dress Materials

In the realm of fashion, traditional prints like indigo and batik stand out for their rich history, intricate designs, and unique craftsmanship. Blockart, a brand committed to celebrating and preserving traditional Indian textile arts, offers a stunning collection of indigo and batik print dress materials. These fabrics not only pay homage to ancient techniques but also provide modern fashion enthusiasts with versatile, stylish options. Let’s delve into the allure of these prints and discover how Blockart’s dress materials can transform your wardrobe.

The Timeless Appeal of Indigo Print Dress Material

Indigo dyeing is one of the oldest methods of textile coloring, with roots stretching back thousands of years. Known for its deep, vibrant blue hue, indigo dye has been a significant part of various cultures around the world, including India.

The Craftsmanship

The process of creating indigo print fabric involves several steps, each requiring skill and precision. The journey begins with extracting the dye from the indigo plant, which is then transformed into a paste. Artisans use wooden blocks or stencils to apply resist paste on the fabric, creating intricate patterns. The fabric is then dipped in an indigo dye vat, allowing the exposed areas to absorb the rich blue color. Multiple dips are often required to achieve the desired shade, and after each dip, the fabric is exposed to air, where oxidation turns the dye a vibrant blue.

Versatile and Elegant

Blockart’s indigo print dress materials are a testament to the versatility and elegance of this ancient dyeing technique. The deep blue hues paired with intricate patterns make these fabrics suitable for a variety of occasions, from casual outings to formal events. Whether you’re designing a chic kurta, a flowy dress, or a stylish tunic, the timeless appeal of indigo ensures you’ll always look sophisticated and fashionable.

The Artistic Beauty of Batik Print Dress Material

Batik is another ancient textile art that involves applying wax to fabric before dyeing it, creating beautiful, complex patterns. This technique has a rich history in countries like Indonesia, India, and Africa, and it continues to be celebrated for its detailed designs and vibrant colors.

The Craftsmanship

Creating batik print fabric is a meticulous and labor-intensive process. Artisans start by drawing patterns on the fabric using a pencil or charcoal. Next, they apply hot wax over these patterns using a tool called a tjanting or a stamp. The wax acts as a resist, preventing the dye from penetrating the covered areas. The fabric is then dyed, and once the dyeing process is complete, the wax is removed by boiling the fabric, revealing the intricate designs.

This process can be repeated multiple times with different wax applications and dye colors to create multi-colored patterns. The result is a fabric that showcases the incredible skill and creativity of the artisans.

Unique and Stylish

Blockart’s batik print dress materials are perfect for those who appreciate unique, handcrafted textiles. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of batik make it an excellent choice for creating standout pieces.

Yesterday Sunday - Funday…. A busy day with the Atelier Batik! BATIK Le batik est une technique 'impression du tissu utilisant la cire chaude. Le batik indonésien est inscrit depuis 2009 par 'UNESCO sur la liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité. La cire chaude est appliquée sur le tissu en points ou en ligne, à l'aide d'un instrument de cuivre en forme de stylet appelé tjanting ou de tampons de cuivre nommés cap. La cire permet de résister au processus de teinture naturelle ou synthétique effectué à la main. Le tissu est ensuite mis à bouillir et/ou gratté pour en ôter la cire, ce procédé est répété pour chaque teinte. @des_fig @des_fig_group @hybridscrib @indonesiainparis @le_geant_des_beaux_arts @canoline_critiks @artdesannonces #destructuralismefiguratif #atelier #batik #batikmodern #batikindonesia #legeantdesbeauxarts #indonesie #culture #culturetrip #sunday #funday #sundayfunday #paris #parcfloral #parismaville #art #artlovers #artlover (at Parc floral de Paris château de Vincennes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQLjt5DnMy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Batik is an technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth. This technique originated from Java, Indonesia. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a tjanting,  or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired.

A message for the home stretch: You’ve come all this way and worked so hard; don't give up yet, keep on going, don't short cut the end. When you've been working on something so long, and hard, with diligence and endurance, waiting and hoping and planning and doing and making ground, when you can see the finish line, it is incredibly tempting to cut the last corner to reach your goal sooner. It may feel like after all this time and effort, you're running out of breath. It may feel like you're running out of resources and don't have enough to finish strong. It may feel all too exciting and urgent, and the temptation to rush is too much. But pace it out. Limber up. This is the home stretch. You've got what it takes. You've been working towards this for a while now. There is no need to panic, no need to short cut, no need to rush or talk it up or push or strive. Just put one foot in front of the other until you see the thing through. Endings come all on their own. And there'll be plenty of time for you to catch your breath and rest and begin again. But for now? Try and forget about the end and just focus on the next right thing, and then the next right thing after that, and then the next right thing after that, one thing at a time. Your lungs will not explode, your legs will not give out, your heart will not fail you. Your heart will not fail you. "May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from [Gods's] glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the [Divine]..." Col 1:11-12 (TJANT). The strength to finish a thing comes from doing the work of finishing a thing. Don't worry about finishing strong, or well, or gloriously, just focus on here and now what you have to do to get to the next step. And you will get there. You will finish. No matter how, when, where, and in what state. Just keep on going. All the love, Liz. 😘 xoxo DOWNLOAD OUR DEVOTIONAL AND WALLPAPER APP → https://ift.tt/2F8LfDE
