SILK BATIK ART

 Silk batik, using vibrant silk dyes and a wax holding line, is a free flowing technique I really enjoy to use. 
 I have produced individual gallery pieces, prints and greeting cards, and have used this method for several picture books such as Margaret Mahy's '17 Kings and 42 Elephants', published by J.M Dent, which received the 
New York Times 'Best Illustrated Book'
 award.
