FOREWOKD
In writing the following pages on "Batiks,
and how they are made" I had a double pur-
pose in view. First, to make this ancient art
more known to the public in general and to
the many textile craftworkers in particular;
secondly, to try to give some practical advice
which will make for the better execution of the
work.
Batik is not so crude a method of decorating
material as many people have thought it to
be. It is not a matter of smearing some wax
on a piece of material with any old brush, dip-
ping it haphazard into any kind of dye, leav-
ing it to the gods to decide what colour it is

60 BATIKS, AND HOW TO MAKE THEM
the use of A fault with amateur dyers is that they often
too much use a g rea t deal more dye than is really needed.
DYE
By this, it is not meant, that too much solution
is used, but too much of the actual colouring
matter. One ten cent package of dye will dye
a pound of material; some fabrics, such as a
light weight silk run about sixteen yards to the
pound. To avoid any waste of dye, it is a good
plan to prepare a concentrated solution in a
small pan and use it with care and economy.
Do not add it all at once to the water in the
large vessel, but rather make a weak bath into
which the piece is put, after having been rinsed
in clear water and squeezed out. When the
colour is all taken up from the bath, remove
the fabric and add more of the concentrated
solution. Do this several times rather than im-
patiently pour in the whole strength; when
finally the desired intensity of colour is reached,
