China Seas Fabric: Malay Batik - Watermelon on Tinted Belgian Linen / Cotton Linen/Cotton hand-printed in navy on cream

hand-printed in navy on cream silk taffeta with the kind of scale that reads as deliberate from across a room

The pattern has the blurred edges and soft focus that come from the resist-dye technique - those intentional imperfections where color bleeds into white are the whole point

the particular warmth of surfaces that have been looked at for centuries

On Taj linen the pattern feels drier

China Seas Fabric: Malay Batik - Watermelon on Tinted Belgian Linen / Cotton Linen/Cotton hand-printed in navy on creamLet's get something out of the way: I am not subtle. I have never been subtle. Subtlety is for fabrics that are hoping you won't notice them, and I am not that fabric. I am forty five yards of watermelon batik on Belgian linen and I walked into this room like I own the building. China Seas printed me because someone remembered what a market in Penang looks like at noon the part where the light hits dyed cloth and the color is so committed to itself
