Reviews
A craft derived from ancient Asian cultures adopts a decidedly modern visage under the tutelage of artist Light. This volume in the Weekend Crafter series simplifies the art of wax-resist dyeing, or batik, enough so that novices can handily turn out one of the 21 easy-to-emulate projects--perhaps not in two days, but in less time than readers might envision. The secret? The book provides robust how-to color photographs and specifies, for the most part, readily available household equipment (eliminating budgetary strains). Armed with a traditional tjanting or wan pen and enough safety precautions, a newbie batiker chooses, then, from household accessories--lunch bag, pillows, slipcovers--to wearables and gifts such as a wren t-shirt, wine gift bag, or chiffon sarong. To ensure project perfection, Light adds sidebars and tips at appropriate text points--the right fabrics, symbol interpretations on dye packages, avoiding the clinginess of chiffon while working. The demystification of a much-valued, centuries-old textile art. Barbara Jacobs
