Word Alert: "Tjanting"

Just so you know.....

Somewhere in the wispy cross-fade of Tjanting's cover is a design reminiscent of Batik, an ancient form of textile art that produces unique dye patterns on cloth. Since its (probable) inception in Egypt, Batik artists have employed a tool called a Tjanting, used to apply hot wax onto fabric. It generally has a wooden handle and a metal resevoir at the end with a small spout to allow the wax to run onto the fabric. The wax is used as a resist against dye.
