Below I have used a traditional Indonesian tool called a  tjanting to draw over different layers of dye with hot wax. To the right below is a carefully constructed Batik collage using leftovers of wet strength tissue that has been used for different Batiks.

The tjanting


to the left and below in 'Strata' can clearly be seen the drawing and scribbling effects of the tjanting.
This is a beautiful traditional batik tool originating in Indonesia. It has a wooden handel, a small copper bowl from which a tiny spout allows the hot wax to flow smoothly.
It is indispensible to the Batik artist.
