Product Description
Display the vibrance and colors of Africa. Add the remarkable beauty of Africa's people to your walls. This hand-made batik was painted in Burkina Faso, using a time consuming process that can take up to weeks to finish. Measures approx 27" x 38". Made in Burkina Faso. Batik or batique is a method of fabric dyeing where the parts of the fabric not intended to be dyed are covered with removable wax. The fabric is then dipped in cool vegetable dye. The portions protected by the wax do not receive the dye, and when the wax is removed in hot water the previously covered areas display a light pattern on the colored ground. This laborous and time-consuming process can be repeated several times with successive areas of wax being added until the desired image is completed. The finished batik is usually used as a wall decoration, but batiks can be used in many other ways as fabric decor highlights.
