I have attempted to discuss the basics of batik and boutique work here.
You will take responsibility for the described practical tasks. If necessary, update me with news about lentil soup, mutton curry, and pilaf at home.
Vegetable Color: Ingredients:
- Peach Khayer: 1.5 tola/yard
- Potassium: 1.5 tola/yard
- Alum: 2 teaspoons/yard
Procedure: Boil the required amount of water in a pot. When the water boils, add khayer and alum, and stir until they dissolve. After dissolving, let the mixture cool in a plastic container. In another steel or aluminum container, dissolve potassium in the required amount of cold water. Dip the wax-coated dry cloth first in the khayer mixture for 5 minutes, then squeeze and dip in the potassium mixture for 5 minutes. Repeat this process every 5 minutes for an hour. Finally, wash the cloth in cold water and dry in the shade. Remove the wax afterward using the method described later.
