Batik blocks at the Rainforest donate Site

Debra Talk about a "one track mind"... when I read "batik blocks", I instantly thought "quilt blocks" - never occurred to me they would be real blocks that are 2" thick.... lol. What would one do with these???

Thanks so much for that link Debra. I have ordered the blocks and the silk skeins. I like to have a go at freehand Batik but want to improve printing with blocks. It is a great site for me!

Well, they have been removed from commercial service, but that doesn't mean they are useless. Some of the ladies who are trying their hands at dyeing, or making their own batik prints may want to try using them. Other batik lovers may want to just have one around as a sewing room knick knack.

You're welcome. I thought someone here would like to give printing a try. Debra in VA See my quilts at

I have thought about full on tjaps before, but either cannot afford them or don't want to get one when I don't know what the print is. Somewhere around here I have to tjap 'sticks', which are just copper shapes on the end of a stick. They don't carry enough wax to work very well, so I am studying on the real ones.

Service is excellent. I have bought the odd prezzy from those shops over the years, and couldn't resist the glow in the dark glass butterfly feeder last year. The butterfly feeder is something hummingbirds seem rather fond of.
