Linda is traveling in Bali now and she is posting photos of how the Hoffman Batiks are made, pictures of the town, and today she has posted about how the Tjap (chop) is made. The chop is the die that is hand made and produces the design on the fabric using wax resist. Each of the amazing Hoffman Batiks are made this way....can you imagine the number of chops they must have? Mind blowing!
Vicarious traveling smiles,

It would be wonderful to make some of my designs into tjaps and make miles of fabric! One day, right? Lol! hugzzz
