Green Dotted, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Kaftan - K006

Green Dotted, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Kaftan - K006A deep, living green across cotton not uniform, not flat, but the kind of green that shifts slightly in different light, darker where the dye pooled and lighter where it barely touched. The dots sit in the green like small windows back to the undyed cloth. Each one was held there by wax while everything around it took the colour. Up close, the edges are soft where the wax lifted that faint halo is the mark of the hand.

blending in the middle the way dye naturally does when it meets wet cotton

That unevenness is exactly the point

the kind that reads as a proper colour rather than a shade

the dye sometimes crept slightly inward — not enough to distort the shape

A comfortable one-size kaftan with an adjustable waist string

from a distance it reads as a richly textured colour

and the hand-dyeing gives it a depth that shifts slightly as you move

confident one

The yellow is warm and saturated

Cool blue cotton carries a pattern of gentle batik waves

there's the faintest softening — a reminder of the hand behind it

the orange is vivid at one end and the cloth darkens steadily until the black takes hold
