Batik Celebrities

Malaysian Batik and Miss England

Shows like these really makes me feel as if I should start modelling. This English beauty represents one of the perfect correspondence of batiks to the Western world. Not just Blondies could do it, but also red heads. It doesn't really matter how you are, any batik design or art painted on your batik shirt could just fit you well. The most important thing is, the correct wear, mix of colors, and your showcase to the world!

Joy of Batik Art

Batik Art with Love

If you're making your own batik, always be sure to love the art. Nothing can be more damaging and more daunting than getting your batik tools ready, silk cloths and wax ready then leaving the job halfway done.

Famous Asian Batik cultures: Bali, Yogyakarta (Jogjakarta), Phuket, Malaysia.

Batik Making: Handmade and Factory

What is your batik style?

Batiks derive in many different patterns, designs, colors and shapes, as you can see from pictures depicted in My Batik blog. But what would be the best solution to your batik style?


Handmade Batiks - Catch your style
Handmade batiks are generally more expensive in price - Let's not talk about the material first. Women tend to naturally 'compete' herself with other girls in terms of wearing. We don't want to wear the same thing as another do. That's basically one of the reasons why I'm so selective in dressing.

The good thing about handmade batiks is that I draw a line to my buying (in order to not blow my credit). Handmade batiks are unique by itself, and presents the natural combinations of whatever the batik painter is trying to depict. Cultural impact is second, and the next thing you know, if you get a good fabric on that hand drawn batik, have a tailor to make it a batik pareo or a batik skirt, you're off to the summer shores with your mates looking pretty good.

Color combinations during summer is crucial to attract attention - And being in the color contra zone could be an attention leech. During hot summer days, opt for bright blue cum yellow batik fabric for your beachwear, or wear something like an autumn green/golden bright color of batik. And as your unique, own hand made batik distinct itself already, you know you're going to get more than just a blink in the eye.

The Batik Bed

Chinese Batik Fabric on the Bed?

Ever wondered how batik designs could go to the bed and copped an Asian feel? While I would argue this batik design is not from any part of Asia, it does give a slight Chinese cum flowery feel to the design. If you're looking into getting batik art drawings on your comforter, or batik designs for your cushion covers, consider matching them with your Island-themed home / Asian cum batik-influenced theme design.

YangHaiYing Drawing: Flower Painting

This post is somewhat unrelated to Batik.
I was scouring through around the net the other day and found HaiYing's drawing to be simply amazing.

This is one of the techniques (in picture) for drawings. Go upclose and it'll look a little jaggy in lines.
Moreover, batik techniques are not this way. But this could be a good idea for your fashion wear this coming summer. Enjoy.
