I know I posted this in an earlier blog entry (Saturday, October 6, 2007, if you want the full five-part harmony song-and-dance), but I just popped it up here because it was relevant to a current and amusing discussion on the Complex Cloth group. Made Back in the Day - ah, the heady smell of melted crayola crayons, paraffin wax, and Schaeffer Permanent Black ink for fountain pen...! My first so-called batik - and the only one from that era of Rit dye and paraffin wax that is still around, as far as I know (the tye-dyed Carter's Spanky-Pants that my mom and I cooked up are long since gone to their reward!).
