	Batik. Free instructions.
		Batik became most deeply rooted in Indonesia, particularly the island of Java, where it was a highly developed art by the 13th century.
		Batik was considered a fitting occupation for aristocratic ladies whose delicately painted designs, based on bird and flower motifs, were a sign of cultivation and refinement, just as fine needlework was for European ladies of a similar position.
