Colored Batik

Here, you can see the same pattern duplicated in various vibrant
colors. If a fabric has additional colors, the first colors must
again be sealed in hot wax, applied with a paintbrush. The darker
colors are applied last, covering lighter colors still uncovered by
wax. All of the wax is melted off only after all of the dyeing is
complete.
