Batik is an ancient art form dating way far back and found in the history of various locations such as West Africa but is most often associated as Indonesian. Silk screening, although supplies and the concept of blocking out areas while dying or painting on fabric are the same, it is a completely different technique which has also, been modernized to make it easier. I plan to try that also. I believe the books I mentioned have the instructions for that also. I will check on that. Thanks, again. You are all such an encouragement.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729956708957293746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818188852383041387.post-22755406925271085152011-08-12T07:01:50.851-05:002011-08-12T07:01:50.851-05:00Oh my, its BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
