Bow to Batiks or how they are made

This is amazing! All the work that goes into making batik fabric, no wonder it is so beautiful.
Takes a few minutes to watch and you will be so amazed. Enjoy

I have been to Bali and seen this done in person at several manufactures of batik. This is one of the cleaner operations.

With all that hand work, we should be surprised that batiks are so cheap! Can you imagine what it would cost per yard if it were made in USA? I am so totally in love with batik fabrics - every year I thunk they couldn't get more beautiful, and every year they do! I haven't met a batik I don't like!!!
