Batik that is Not Batik


If you look closely at the fabric in this picture, you can see that it is multi-colored and distinctly batik-like in appearance. Batik is its own art, however, and this is not batik. This is a very clever impostor produced by rubber stamp diva, theGoddessDiana. The goddess teaches this particular ink technique to create hand-dyed fabrics and for handmade paper. For lovers of batik, the results are truly glorious.
To individualize your patterns further, the goddess offers custom cut rubber mounted on wood at a nominal price.
This particular piece of fabric was generous gift from the goddess and will be turned into harem pants for the girls. The wood blocks in the photo are all custom cuts produced for me by the goddess and are utilized in the hand printed work for the exhibits. TheGoddessDiana can be contacted at 631.549.0199.
