What an interesting trip through the process of making batiks. I know that I am amazed at some of them I buy and wonder how they came up with this design. Now, I have a small idea, maybe. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Wow! Interesting! Thanks so much for sharing!

Now I will have to look at the end of the bolts in the store and see where they come from.

These are not in the order of production, hope you can figure them out. There are five files to load, so have some patience.

Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing these photos, I was just to our Mill End Textiles store yesterday and visiting with the sales gal told her I'd LOVE to go to a mill and see the fabric making process - the pics were not quite what I was thinking about - they are much better! What talant these folks have.
:-P ;-)
