Batik Tulis (Canting)

I love batik tulis. To start you need heated natural dye (mixture of paraffin, palm oil, and pine sap) and pour it into a container that has a small opening allowing you to write (tulis/menulis) the pattern you desired. It takes eye for detail and consistency to do it. Amazing craftmanship!
