Cushion With Embossed Velvet Center
This little throw pillow shows off another great technique to use with our batik tjaps. It is a very simple process to emboss velvet with a copper batik stamp. Velvet with Rayon or Acetate works best, but you can get a softer impression on polyester velvet. Cotton velvet will not work at all. Simply place the velvet right side down on the copper tjap. Lightly spray the backside. Hold a hot iron on the velvet about 20 seconds or until the fabric is dry. Your velvet is embossed!
POSTCARD QUILT IN BLUES
Jaka calls his miniature batiks "Postcards." I designed this quilt to take advantage of
these charming designs which will be sure to delight any child.
My friend Marcia and I made this one and the green version below for her twin grandchildren, Sarah and Jackson. They are just learning their colors and shapes so we decided to make the backing in bright primary batiks with appliqued shapes.

"Tjaps"
Indonesian Batik Stamps

These beautiful Indonesian batik stamps (tjaps) can be used for making batik of course, but we have found several other interesting uses for them. Here are some examples of how you can use the tjaps to embellish fabrics:
Elephant Batik Stamp or Tjap used to make a rubbing with Paint Stiks.
Remember when you were in kindergarten, and you put a leaf or penny under a piece of paper, then rubbed the crayon on top of the paper? An image of the leaf or penny magically appeared on the sheet. That's exactly the idea with a batik stamp rubbing. Complete instructions included with Paintstik or Tjap purchase.
Elephant Batik Stamp or Tjap used to make a rubbing using Pentel Dyestiks. The Dyestiks are available in most art stores and are less expensive than the Paintstiks. The dye sticks create a finer line, however, they can only be used on light colored fabric because the dye is absorbed into the fabric when heat set.
Butterfly Batik Stamp Rubbing with Dye Sticks
Batik Stamp or Tjap used to embosss velvet.
Add new designs to plain velvet using Indonesian batik tjaps. Make unique, one of a kind gifts, such as scarves, purses, pillows, curtains or anything you can imagine with velvet and copper batik stamps (tjaps).
Complete directions included with purchase of any batik tjap.

KEVIN'S BIRDS by Trish Hodge
copyright 2001
Kevin chose one of Paksi's bird paintings for his quilt. I was inspired by one of Martha Thompson's tessellation patterns from her book, "Square Dance" to create thebackground for the birds. The pinwheels reflect and enhance the flying movement of the birds.
FIRE BREATHING DRAGON by Trish Hodge
copyright 2001
This quilt is for my grandson Clemente who loves dragons, but also loves butterflies. This quilt incorporates a tesselation design from "Square Dance" to bring the dragon's fire out into the rest of the quilt. The butterfly flies free -- out of range of the dragon's fire!
TIGER CATS by Trish Hodge
copyright 2001
This quilt was made for my granddaughter Delaney. She loves animals, especially cats, Especially TIGER cats! Black & white is always a good starting point for bordering the batik paintings, and works especially well for these cats. The elongated triangles pick up the cat stripes as well as suggest cat's claws. It is difficult to tell in the photo, but the black and tan fabric is a bali batik with cats.
FISHING BOAT by Trish Hodge, 2000
A Storm At Sea variation was a natural choice to border this fishing scene batik painting by Jaka. All of the fabrics in the border are Bali Batiks that reflect the soft tones of the central image.

The giraffes in this batik painting by Kresno have a delightful sense of fun about them, perfectly suited for a three-year-old grand-daughter. The giraffes in the corners and the centers of the log-cabins are from stamp-printed Bali Batiks. The outer border is a Jambi Floral Batik in rust and pink on a black background.
