Native American Batik
High School 2003
1st place Winner- Fabric Crafts
North Carolina Woman's Club
&
Manteo High School Annual Art Exibit
A Batik is a craft in which wax any dyes are used on linens & silk to create depth and designs. For this project we had to study as assigned Native American Tribe. We also had to incorporate the photo of an actual Native American that was printed on linen and then stitched on. Every detail on this piece has a meaning behind it for the depicted tribe. Prior to studying we had a brief tutorial on hand stitching. I haven't done a quilt since this project- but hope to pick it up again someday.
