It's actually a ton of fun and I'm lucky to be able to do this for a living. It does take time, but all good things do! They're fiber reactive dyes from a company called Dharma Trading Co, out of San Rafael, CA. Anyone can use them, but can anyone do this with dye and wax and fabric? I have yet to see! Lol! It's true though. Thank you for the compliments and your friendly welcome.

Glad to read that you enjoy it so much :) What's the point of spending hours on something you do not enjoy, right? Happy to see you are pursuing your passion and obviously have a high level of confidence in the art that you make. Are the dyes chemically based at all or are they from more naturally occurring sources??
Unlike most factory made products you purchase from large stores, these are not made from industrial dyes. They are cold water process and non toxic, of course. Check out my videos for more insight on how I create the batiks. My sources are free to research as mentioned in the above comment. Enjoy!
