Mari Mencanting
Batik canting atau batik lukis tangan memerlukan lebih tenaga manusia dan prosesnya lebih lama jika di bandingkan menggunakan batik cetak atau batik cop. Dari melukis hinggalah mewarnakan kain mungkin memakan masa dua atau tiga hari. Ia juga bergantung kepada faktor cuaca. Jika musim hujan akan lebih lambat selesainya membuat satu keping fabrik batik tersebut kerana menunggu warna kering terlebih dahulu barulah boleh di tambah dengan warna yang lain. Bentuk dan coraknya juga berbeza walaupun di bentuk dengan corak yang sama. Maklumlah menggunakan tangan manusia. Kemungkinan semasa meletakkan warna pada bunga-bunga batik tersebut ada yang kecil dan ada sedikit besar. Kemungkinan ada yang tertinggal satu-satu bentuk batik atau satu-satu warna di dalam bunga atau bentuk batik yang di lukiskan. Di situlah letaknya kesenian batik Canting. Di Malaysia para pengemar batik dari luar negara lebih suka mencari batik yang ada perbezaan di dalam satu-satu bentuk batik tersebut (dipetik dari hijab-batik)
Batik Lukis
Dari Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, ensiklopedia bebas.
Batik lukis merujuk kepada corak pada kain batik yang dilukis tangan secara bebas. Batik lukis mempunyai corak yang pelbagai dan setiap satu adalah unik, tidak akan sama dengan yang lain.
Di alam Melayu batik lukis mempunyai corak bunga. Ini disebabkan Islam melarang pengikutnya melukis benda hidup. Bagi batik lukis dibahagian lain, terdapat pelbagai corak termasuk manusia dan haiwan yang dihasilkan.
Alat canting digunakan bagi melakar corak batik dengan lilin panas di atas kain putih. Setelah kerja-kerja melakar selesai, proses mewarna mengikut kesesuaian corak dilakukan dengan menggunakan berus cat, dimana bahagian-bahagian yang terkena lilin itu tidak akan meninggalkan kesan warna apabila proses mematikan warna di lakukan. Lilin akan cair dan tanggal menjadikan bahagian-bahagian ini berwarna putih sebagai benteng.

Batik from Wikipedia
Batik (pronunciation: [ˈba.teʔ], but often, in English, is [ˈbæ.tɪk] or [bəˈtiːk]) is a wax-resist dyeing technique used on textile. Batik is found in several countries of West Africa, such as Nigeria, Cameroon and Mali, and in Asia, such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Iran, the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand. However, it is in Indonesia that it is considered a national art form.
Etymology
Although the word's origin is Javanese, its etymology may be either from the Javanese amba ('to write') and titik ('dot' or 'point'), or constructed from a hypothetical Proto-Austronesian root *beCík, meaning 'to tattoo' from the use of a needle in the process. The word is first recorded in English in the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1880, in which it is spelt battik. It is attested in the Malay of the Dutch colonial period in the various forms mbatek, mbatik, batek and batik.[1][2][3] The word is now used in both contemporary Indonesian and Malay languages.
Batik is believed to have originated in China, or more specifically in Yunnan. Until these days, batik is still the main attire of the Yunnan women and they consider batik as one of their heritage. This maybe due to the weaving machine invented by the Chinese that spurred the production of fabrics in Asia, including batiks and sarongs before they made their ways to neighboring people in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia and finally Indonesia.
Culture
Batik has been both an art and a craft for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there.
Contemporary batik, while owing much to the past, is markedly different from the more traditional and formal styles. For example, the artist may use etching, discharge dyeing, stencils, different tools for waxing and dyeing, wax recipes with different resist values and work with silk, cotton, wool, leather, paper or even wood and ceramics.
Batik is historically the most expressive and subtle of the resist methods. The ever widening range of techniques available offers the artist the opportunity to explore a unique process in a flexible and exciting way..
Procedure
Melted wax (Javanese: malam) is applied to cloth before being dipped in dye. It is common for people to use a mixture of bees wax and paraffin wax. The bee's wax will hold to the fabric and the paraffin wax will allow cracking, which is a characteristic of batik. Wherever the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will not penetrate. Sometimes several colours are used, with a series of dyeing, drying and waxing steps.
Thin wax lines are made with a canting needle (or a tjanting tool), a wooden handled tool with a tiny metal cup with a tiny spout, out of which the wax seeps. Other methods of applying the wax onto the fabric include pouring the liquid wax, painting the wax on with a brush, and applying the hot wax to precarved wooden or metal wire block and stamping the fabric.
After the last dyeing, the fabric is hung up to dry. Then it is dipped in a solvent to dissolve the wax, or ironed between paper towels or newspapers to absorb the wax and reveal the deep rich colors and the fine crinkle lines that give batik its character. This traditional method of batik making is called Batik Tulis (lit: Written Batik).
The invention of the copper block or cap developed by the Javanese in the 20th century revolutionised batik production. It became possible to make high quality designs and intricate patterns much faster than one could possibly do by hand-painting. This method of using copper block to applied melted wax patern is called Batik Cap (pronounced like "chop").
Indonesian batik used for clothing normally has an intricate pattern. Traditionally, wider curves were reserved for batik produced for nobles. The traditional cloth has natural colors (tones of indigo and brown) while contemporary pieces have more variety of color.
Javanese batik typically includes symbols. Some pieces may be mystic-influenced, but very rarely used for clothing. Some may carry illustrations of animals.
