I have made my own batiks. They are relatively easy to do but very time consuming. The ones that I did turned out the way that I wanted them to. The directions given in the link above are very general directions. Changes will need to be made in how you proceed depending on the type of dye that you use. I find dyeing fabric one of the most rewarding art forms there is. Don't have any pictures of any of my dyed fabric creations on hand to show or this reply would never end.
