Simple Batik

I like Batik but its a bit hard to do Batik if you don't have the important tools. What are the tools? For traditional Batik you need : 

1. Color (remazol/primazin)
2. Soda ash
3. Sodium silikat (fixer)
4. Rosin (damar)
5. Parafin (lilin putih)

6. Canting

BUT there is an easy way to perform Batik (yeah). A Malaysian people (owner of Fairbreno) have invented this simple Batik tools called Quick Wax Batik. You can buy it in a set box :) this suitable to beginner.

Books: THE HELP

 

Book Review : The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Kathryn Stockett, who was raised in Jackson, Mississippi, was inspired by her close childhood relationship with her family's black maid to write The Help. Her debut novel tells the story of privileged families in Jackson and the black women who work as maids and nannies for the families but live in a separate part of town and are segregated from whites in so many ways. 

One story is particularly moving; a woman whose own son was tragically killed in an accident lovingly dedicates herself to raising the children of the white families she works for. The close relationships formed between "the help" and these families is constantly contradicted by the enforced segregation and blatant racism on a society-wide and an individual level. The absurdity of the situation becomes clear to one young white woman who is used to defying society's expectations for her own role by yearning for a job in New York City rather than a husband.

The Help is told in the alternating narratives of the various women. The story is powerful because it doesn't get lost in big, sweeping points about the era but rather focuses on a nuanced portrait of individual characters, and of the horrors and blessings that come from these complicated racial relationships.
