The technique of the Batik Making is a demanding one especially the
ones which are hand made and hand painted ...

Any tool that can efficiently transfer hot wax from a container to the fabric 

will serve to produce a design on the cloth when it is dyed. 

At the simplest level, a lighted candle can be used to distribute 

drops of melted wax on the fabric ...

The hand-drawn batiks are the most exclusive ones, but most are done
using tools like these with different patterns ...

Hot wax is therefore one of the main Ingredients of batik making ...

The basic process of batik is simple. It seems simple as it consists of permeating
an area of fabric with hot wax so that the wax resists the penetration of dye ...

I remember when we were in high school, one of our project was creating

a batik using a lighted candle, the wax is really hot and no mistakes 

allowed as once the cloth is waxed, you cannot change it ...

So when all the tools are ready, the process begins with a piece of white cloth,
such as bleached cotton, linen, or silk, 

then whichever area the hot wax applied will remain white in the final design. 

The cloth is then dipped in a dye bath before the final hand-painting of colors ...

These are the techniques of Batik Art ...
