Tropical Tantrum is famous for our beautiful color combinations and quality fabrics. Our color combinations are unique and many satisfied customers will attest to the durability and craftsmanship of our long lasting fabrics. Our beautiful hand-painted fabrics are of one of a kind and the method to paint the fabric is known as a process called batik. The batik process is very involved and many steps are taken to complete the process correctly. The process begins with our selection of the finest quality of rayon to ensure the hand-painted process.
A Brief History of Batik
Although experts disagree as to the precise origins of batik, samples of dye resistance patterns on cloth can be traced back 1,500 years ago to Egypt and the Middle East. Samples have also been found in Turkey, India, China, Japan and West Africa from past centuries. Although in these countries people were using the technique of dye resisting decoration, within the textile realm, none have developed batik to its present day art form as the highly developed intricate batik found on in Indonesia.
Selection and Preparation of the Cloth
Natural materials such as cotton, silk, and rayon are used for the cloth, so that it can absorb the wax that is applied in the dye resisting process. The fabrics must be of a high thread count (densely woven). It is important that cloth of high quality have this high thread count so that the intricate design qualities of batik can be maintained
