a method of dyeing print into a fabric. before dyeing the fabric, the artist covers the areas that are not to be dyed with a dye-resistant substance such as removable wax. after dyeing, the dye-resist is removed, leaving the design in the original color of the fabric against a background of the new color.
a method of selectively applying dye to cloth which is covered in part with a dye-resistant, removable substance such as wax. After dyeing, the wax is removed, and the design appears in the original color against the newly colored background. Also refers to the finished, dyed cloth.
Using wax resist designs on dyed fabrics. Colors are dyed lightest color to darkest color, with new design elements added before each color bath.
is a dyeing method where the cloth is covered with wax designs. It is dipped into vegetable dye that dyes the uncovered cloth without melting the wax. The wax is removed with hot water after the design is finished.
technique, common in Southeast Asia, of hand-dyeing fabrics by using wax or another dye repellant to delineate the design.
In this dyeing process developed in Java, wax and other substances that resist dye are applied, then washed out to leave dramatic patterns.
Textile technique. A dye-resist pattern produced by painting fabric with wax before dyeing, and then melting it. (Sumil Kai)
A paste or wax resist dyeing technique
A traditional Indonesian textile printing method in which a design is drawn on the fabric in melted wax, covering areas that are not to be dyed. After dyeing is completed, the wax is removed.
A type of hand dyeing that involves each tee being individually painted with wax, then dyed. Batiking originated in Indonesia and results in a pretty cool looking T-shirt. Ours are made right here in Boulder, Colorado by an artist who designed the guitar logo from one of Todd’s guitars while watching him at a show.
A system of dyeing fabric in which selected areas are protected from the dye with wax.
A method of dyeing cloth in which the design is produced using a wax resist. The technique has been used primarily by women artists at Ernabella and Utopia and by Tiwi in the Melville and Bathurst Islands.
a dyed fabric; a removable wax is used where the dye is not wanted
dye with wax; "Indonesian fabrics are often batiked"
a wax resist method of decorating fabric
fabric patterned with dyes using a wax resist. You may have seen Indonesian batik in import stores.
A process where paraffin or beeswax is used to resist paint of dye on fabric or paper. The pigment is absorbed into the exposed, unwaxed areas.
A method of treating fabric or paper with wax before dyeing, so the treated area does not pick up color.
A method of treating fabric or paper with wax before dyeing, so the treated area does not take colour.
An Indonesian process of creating patterns by covering portions of fabric with wax, dying the piece, then removing the wax.
A dyeing process in which portions of the fabric are coated with wax, and only the uncovered areas take the dye. Several colors can be used on the same garment.
A technique of hand-dyeing fabrics using wax as a dye repellent to create patterns in the material.
When wax is used to reserve or mask areas of fabric. Will obviously not work with hot water dyes.
resist dyeing method where wax is used to resist the dye.
Dyeing fabric by covering portions not intended to be colored with removable wax.
a fabric dying process developed in Indonesia where wax is applied to areas where dye is to be resisted. Some wallcovering designs simulate this effect.
an Indonesian method of printing textile. A design is made on the fabric by coating it with wax to repel dye. The cloth is then dipped in dye after which the wax is removed so the design appears in the original color of the cloth. Often, this process is repeated for a number of colors to complete the desired design.
Parrafin or beeswax is used to resist paint or dye on fabric or paper. Designs and patterns are produced on the unwaxed areas.
An East India method of wax printing where wax is applied to certain areas of the cloth to create a design. It is very popular in the Far East specially in Bali, Indonesia.
a traditional Indonesian dyeing process in which portions of fabric are coated with wax and therefore resist the dye. The process can be repeated to achieve multi-color designs. Fabric usually has a veined appearance where the dye has gone through the cracks in the wax.
The word batik is derived from the Javanese word membatik which means drawing or painting on cloth. It is the general term which describes a form of dye resist by wax on cotton cloth. The craft of batik making is practised in India, parts of Africa and is renowned in Java. Resists of rice flour paste in India or Africa are painted or printed on the cotton cloth. In Java hot wax, prepared from 1 part paraffin wax and 3 parts resin, is applied to the cotton cloth to resist the dye by either a block called a tjap or drawn onto the cloth with a canting sometimes called a tjanting. The wax solidifies and cracks on handling. The waxed areas resist the dye. When the wax is washed out of the fabric there remains the characteristic veining effect where the dye liquor has penetrated the cracks. See canting.
A fabric-dyeing method that renders prints with a cracked effect. A design is drawn on cotton and wax is applied to the fabric areas to remain white. The fabric is then put in dye, the wax is removed and the fabric re-dyed.
a method of dying fabric using wax as a resist Battery a device for pushing an electric current around a circuit. Batteries come in different voltages 1.5V, 3V, 4.5V, 6V and 9V. The bigger the voltage the harder the battery 'pushes' the electricity around the circuit. If the voltage is too large the components get hot and 'burn out'. If it is too low the components do not work properly
A fabric dyeing process, originated in Indonesia, using wax resists and dye on fabric in designs.
This originated in Indonesia, and refers to the technique of using wax on fabric to resist dye in patterns and designs.
A method of dyeing which uses randomly cracked wax resists to produce a veined effect. Popular in West Africa.
A method of dyeing cloth which involves the use of removable wax to repel (resist) the dye on parts of the design where dye is not desired. Batik originated in Indonesia, where its production continues to thrive.
Resist mehod of patterning cloth where wax is used as the resist. Molten wax is applied to the cloth, traditionally by a hand process, in a pattern, and the wax is allowed to harden. The waxed cloth is dyed and the wax removed afterwards. The process can be repeated to build up complext patterns. Sometimes the hardened wax is cracked to produce a characteristic veining.
A fabric dyeing technique in which the pattern is first drawn with beeswax onto the cloth with a metal tool, and then the cloth is immersed in dye. The areas covered by the wax are not affected by the dye, creating a pattern that can be seen when the wax is removed by boiling the cloth. Wax and dye applications may be repeated for color variation.
Patterning technique. Colouring is controlled by application of wax or paste resist to some design areas of a fabric so that dye only penetrates uncoated areas. The resist is removed by boiling, melting or scraping after dyeing.
Form of hand-printing fabric that originated in Indonesia; technique involves using wax as a resist to create a negative image.
A method of dying fabric using wax to create a pattern.
A traditional dyeing process in which portions of cloth are coated with wax and therefore resist the dye. Batik fabrics are characterised by a streaky or mottled appearance.
(Indonesian). Wax-resist method of dyeing fabric.
Originated in Java; a method of dyeing textiles. Wax is applied to sections of material which are to remain uncolored; the dyes do not penetrate wax. Once dyed, the wax can be removed by various methods, one of which is boiling. Repeated waxing and dyeing results in colorful patterns. The lines typically found in batiks are produced by cracking the hardened wax before applying the dye.
A method of dyeing fabric where some areas are covered with wax or pastes made of glues or starches to make designs by keeping dyes from penetrating in pattern areas. Multicolored and blended effects are obtained by repeating the dyeing process several times, with the initial pattern of wax boiled off and another design applied before dyeing again in a new color. Indonesia is famous for its batiks.
Technique using hot wax as a resist applied with a tjanting tool; a drawing instrument with a cup and spout from which molten wax is poured onto fabric in a design. Dye is then applied in progressive layers over the wax. Batik is traditionally done on either cotton or silk, or other natural fibers. A cool water dye such as Dharma Fiber Reactive is usually used so as not to melt the wax. Most Batik has a characteristic look with lots of darker fine lines caused by dye seeping into cracks in the wax.
Hand-printed material colored by dipping the fabric into dye.
a process also known as Tjap, where areas of cloth are opaqued with wax before the fabric is dyed. For two or more colors each preceding wax layer is removed and reapplied in a different patterned layer. A crinkled pattern is achieved by crinkling the fabric and cracking the wax. Primitive or ethnic batik patterns from Indonesia and Africa are reproduced by mechanical silk screen or roller printing on contemporary fabrics.
ancient resist hand-printing technique using wax, which is applied, removed and re-applied for each color layer to create various patterns including a crackled appearance
Batik or batique is an Indonesian-Malay word and refers to a generic wax-resist dyeing technique used on textile. The word originates from Malay word for dot or point, "titik" and the Javanese word "amba", meaning â€to writeâ€.
