PHOTO-A-DAY DAY 137 - 18th May 2014 .... Something I drew

Hmmm, I'm not much of an artist with a pencil - so let's see...
I know I've used this before but I did draw this!
My batik panel from Bali.
This started off as a blank white piece of fabric.
I drew the design in pencil with the assistance of the batik master (he drew the bird)
Then I 'drew' over it in hot wax from a little metal pot called a tjanting
And then the piece was transformed using different dyes and wax blocking techniques.
I loved learning how to do it and watching the changing colours under the Bali sun.
