Brown Black Circles, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Night Gown - NG022

Brown Black Circles, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Night Gown - NG022Brown and black circles in layers across the cloth two close, dark tones that build depth rather than contrast. The brown is warm, the black is deep, and where they meet in the pattern they create a third tone that sits between them. Multi colour batik circles require the wax to be applied in stages, with each colour protected while the next goes on. The layering means the design has more visual complexity than its palette suggests look closely and

giving the design an easy

and the white ground between them keeps the design feeling fresh

The slight variations in spacing and angle are the record of a hand working continuously

the shape of shoreline vegetation
