About BATIK

Batik is a "resist" technique.  Melted wax is applied to the fabric, then the fabric is dipped in dye (the waxed areas "resist" the dyes).  The fabric is allowed to dry before repeating the process again for each color in the design  working from the lightest color to the darkest. Care and planning must be taken with choice of colors because each new color mixes with the previous colors in the unwaxed areas.  Mysterious and almost magical changes occur when waxed fabrics are dipped into different color baths. The crackle or veining that appears in most Batiks is caused when the wax cracks and allows the dye to penetrate to the fabric.  After the final color is applied, the wax is removed and the piece is ready for presentation.  

 About Toni

Toni first learned the process of  BATIK in 1981, while living in Kodiak, Alaska.  She is a 24-hour-a-day artist and gets lost in time when creating. Toni and her husband Darrell live in northern Idaho where they enjoy the lifestyle of traveling to art shows,  spending time at their mountain cabin and kayaking in the rivers.  Toni sees a design for a new Batik around every bend in the road.
