Small experiments on jute. I like them, but jute is not the best for batik. The weft is too open and a white background is needed to appreciate the design and the color. Besides it is so thick that it absorbs a lot of wax and the ironing takes even more time. I like it on small sizes. I did a big one and didn’t’ like it because I got tired of ironing it. I still have it somewhere, still with lots of wax on it.

One day when Miggie was visiting us, she came with me at my batik workshop. I gave her a piece of fabric and she did this. I like it very much, not just because she did it, but also because of the very interesting effect of the craquel on the fish.
