Batik Cotton Shawl in Lime Green from Thailand, "Splendid Forest"

Talented artisan Nisa from Thailand demonstrates her mastery of batik methods in this stunning cotton shawl. She uses beeswax to create the detailed patterns, and then dyes the fabric in shades of apple and lime green, red, sky blue and olive. The artisan also hand-stitches the hems of each and every shawl the makes, as a special touch.
