Batik is a very popular fabric decoration technique of many ethnic groups. Basically, it is a technique of using molten beeswax, painting on a fabric surface, covering the location where the original color of the fabric is to be retained. The fabric will be dyed with cool dyes and finally boiled in boiling water. Beeswax melted in boiling water will reveal the covered pattern.
In Vietnam, Mong women are very skillful in decorating with beeswax. Different batik patterns can be seen on their skirts, dresses, and baby carriers. Each hand made product carries the pride and love of the artisans.
