Batik methods originated in Indonesia. Melted (Javanese: malam)wax is applied to cloth before being dipped in dye. It is common for people to use a mixture of beeswax and parrafin. The beeswax will hold to the fabric and the paraffin wax will allow cracking, which is a characteristic of batik. Wherever the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will not penetrate. Sometimes several colours are used, with a series of dyeing, drying and waxing steps.
