The fabric pieces were made in China with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batik" target="_blank">a wax resist technique</a> and each is unique, most of these pieces began as clothing and bedding and are now being re-purposed in all different ways.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge1v8w0FhcfzZi-AQa0Z4hVGwSy6Dni2n6QSYQN7LFBlXswWFbT8N_Ses-0dXloHtrEdRc-fmv46I4f3iIOAm6WBSlKP-tLVcrtD7y7jBjXWWOeMGcFUNuwolrEQCKWuu2NuJnXwFucEo/s1600/march+2013+303.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge1v8w0FhcfzZi-AQa0Z4hVGwSy6Dni2n6QSYQN7LFBlXswWFbT8N_Ses-0dXloHtrEdRc-fmv46I4f3iIOAm6WBSlKP-tLVcrtD7y7jBjXWWOeMGcFUNuwolrEQCKWuu2NuJnXwFucEo/s640/march+2013+303.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrnXgAiump2f_w_X3FEaK83cjQV5y_02ik1aXK2udVFMH4mZ3tQxuykwUFFIOirqc4sno-T9GjNG3-90pu0zaqTrnHBDiWSZJ_E9VvdhTo57fivMLVDUNh7p3IdNGJZRerKBq_6sH_gk/s1600/march+2013+315.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrnXgAiump2f_w_X3FEaK83cjQV5y_02ik1aXK2udVFMH4mZ3tQxuykwUFFIOirqc4sno-T9GjNG3-90pu0zaqTrnHBDiWSZJ_E9VvdhTo57fivMLVDUNh7p3IdNGJZRerKBq_6sH_gk/s640/march+2013+315.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can see I cannot resist the temptation with these pieces!
