Lou Zeldis Batik

This hand-drawn batik is a Lou Zeldis original. It is the result of much time and effort using traditional techniques of wax-resist patterning and natural dyes. Lou Zeldis was masterful in the use of design using age old batik techniques as his media. This is a one of a kind as with Lou’s death in 2012 only a select few of these textiles are being produced.

The motif on this textile is called crazy wheel with blue stripes. Please remember that I am photographing at home due to social distancing so when the wind blows the textile is not always straight – this is not a reflection on the squareness of the actual textile.

This cloth is wonderful as wall hangings or as a table cloth or wrap yourself up in a sarong.

Batik hand drawn, single panel, commercial cotton, natural dyes. Made by Lou Zeldis in Java, 2020.
