The art of decorating cloth in this way, using wax and dye, has been practiced for centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo make a batik, selected areas of the cloth are blocked out by brushing or drawing hot wax over them, and the cloth is then dyed. The parts covered in wax resist the dye and remain the original color. This process of waxing and dyeing can be repeated to create more elaborate, vibrant colors and design motifs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wax prints are part of a nonverbal way of communication among African women, and hereby they carry their message out into the world. Some wax prints can be named after personalities, cities, building, sayings or occasions.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBatik is historically the most expressive and subtle of the resist methods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woven Art \u0026 Beyond LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57618369544358,"sku":"ppf1791854312061","price":10.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/4036\/8550\/files\/rwandan-batik-clutch-wshoulder-strap---zig-zags_1.jpg?v=1791854319","url":"https:\/\/www.mynovetra.com\/products\/rwandan-batik-clutch-wshoulder-strap-zig-zags","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
