A brilliant explosion of color
on cloth has been de rigueur in
high fathion- circles for some
time now and promises to be
even more so thanks to the latest
trend in art - batik dyeing and
tie-dyeing.
' According to Estelle Post,
well-known Toronto batik,
craftsman, many girls are now
using batik -designed material as
dress lengths even though batik
is essentially an art form.
The dyeing, an 'art which had
its origin many years ago in Java,
is done in four steps. The artist
first draws a pattern on the cloth
with charcoal then paints hot
wax ort -the -patter with a paint
brush or tjanting, an Indonesian
_pen like instrument with a cup
for hot wax. (The -waxed areas
retain the original color of the -
fabric and the delicacy of the
pattern determines the size of
the brush.) In the third step, the
craftstnan dips the cloth in
"Procion"' cold water dyes „then,
24 hours tater, places the cloth
in boiling water to 'remove the •
• wax. _ - --- . ,
For a crackle effect,the artist.
can crumple the cloth to crack
the hardened wax.
The wax can be heated- in an
electric frying pan, a glue pot, a
• double boiler or any similar
. utensil. Miss Post herself uses a
40 -watt electric bulb partially
su6merged in a can of wax. The
bulb is hot enough to melt :the
wax without scorching it.
She has found . the
combination of one-third'

Fish Moods
If you knew how a fish felt
when he .got out of bed you'
have a better chance of catch-
ing him.
The problem•,. of course, is
to diagnose fish moods. Since
• most - anglers can't converse.,
with them (although sorne
claim this distinction), it's
difficult to learn how fish greet
the day.. • .
Knowing what ,factors' influ•
ence fish, -behavior can. add to ,

or brown water fish are less
likely to,, venture from' their
normal lies. This means - an
a»gler Must cast `almost direct-
- ly,over the fish to get his atten=
tion. Casts 'should -be mord'ire-
quent with less distance be-
tween them.
In clear water fish are more 1C
eager and will travel farther
seeking food. Therefore, fewer
casts are needed, and the
fisherman can work, a larger
territory.
Warm water is the result of
hot weather, and fish are leth-
argic and won't move about
any more than • necessary.
Again, this 'calls for ,more fre

dyeing makes- fashion
beeswax and two -third paraffin
wax most satisfactory.
.. The wax can be removed
either byboiling or by placing
the.material between two sheets
of. . newspaper and ironing -
although this method never
completely removes all the wax
and the material becomes a little
stiff. • -
If the cloth is ironed and
stiffly starched before batiking,
sharp images are created. To
protect :tables and furniture
from hot wax, the .cloth should
be placed on a table covered
with newspapers and wax paper
or stretched on a wooden frame
sold in art shops.
Floral geometric or rainbow'
configurations can be made this
.-way but- for circular patterns,
tie-dyeing is the best bet. -
Wrap the fabric around a
round object and tie string
tightly below it. Then tie string
around the fabric at chosen
intervals below the object. Dip
the fabric in a dye bath. The
string prrotects the material from
the dye, creating a circular
pattern.
The batik technique of
dyeing, which is in the midst of
a revival in Canada,is actually a
centuries-old art form which
spread across south-east Asia in
400 A.D.
The process down - through
the years was long and complex,
-involving ' 'azoic dyes and
chemical baths.
Today, however, modern
chemistry has come up • with
"Procion” dyes as dazzling and
vivid as dyes of old but with the
modern advantages of
lightfastness and washfastness.
They are reactive dyes which
combine with the fabric through
a - chemical process whereas
regular dyes merely adhere
physically to the surface of the
fibres. '
"Procion" dyes, developed in
the dyestuffs laboratories . of
Imperial - Chemical Industries
Limited in England in 1956 and
marketed in Canada by Canadian -
Industries Limited, are primarily
responsible for the revival of
batik in Canada and in other
western countries.
Miss Post, who discovered the
availability of "Procion" dyes in
1966, is now a retail distributor
for the dyes in all of . Canada
except British Columbia, where
the market' is handled by
Behnsen Silk • Screens of
Vancbuver. Much credit must go
to her for stimulating the batik
revival on the Prairies and in
eastern Canada. "
- She.. also -'-reaches -markets' in
Minnesota, New York, Ohio,
Maine, Washington D.C. and
Texas. -
Miss Post sells the dyes in
bulk to artists, with instructions
on how to rnix the dye.
One ounce of dye costs
between 90 cents .and $1.35 and
a teaspoon of dye makes one
pint of solution. ,
Miss, Post is also providing
complete mixtures of the dyes in
one and' a quarter(. .ounce
packages for about 39 cents a
package.
Mixtures are particularly,
good for schbol 'children or
beginners who don't want to
buy in quantity just yet.
Selling under the name ESPO
cold water dyes, they can be
obtained from her at, her
boutique at 17 Balrruto Street,
Toronto or through - Domus,.
Craft Shop hi Kingston or Helga
Palke in Ottawa.
"The dye is safe for purg•si1k,
'pure linen, pure cotton, cotton
or silk velvet ,. and even wool,"
she said. .
"The exceptions are acetate
rayons and nylons," she added.
The "co-pilot" on your
fishing motor provides
velvet -smooth -friction control in
the steering mechanism: Mercury
outboard experts . recommend
that the .eo-pile be adjusted so
that the motor will remain In a
fixed course position without
the need of manual control, yet
will not be too tight to allow
free and easy steering: Refer to
yoltr outboard motor owner's
guide -for adjustment
instructions.
