"Batik Goddess" by Sarah (´Saja´) Kellington

Finally ... *first comment twirl around* I already liked the picture that had this character ! Amazing textures and patterns. I like the "webs" that go around the goddess like tree-roots connecting her to the world. Makes her look like a tree indeed. Great colors too, all blues and greens, reminds of the sea. And the little writing on the right ! What do you mean "fail to make reaaly cool art" ? bravo !Yes, I finally updated! *bows* The 'webs' are because of the batik technique. You die the fabric, then cover the bits that you like that color with wax. Usually the wax cracks and makes webs. I'm glad you noticed the little writing - it's one of my own scripts. Merci!

mmm, textile art...

The little bleed throughs give this picture a sense of life, as if it was a thing in motion that you happenned to capture a still of. In ironic contrast to the other Calenthes present here, esp given the serene blues and greens, I do somehow get a feeling of malevolence from this goddess, though. Might be the chance dye bleed into her face that resembles a single squinting eye. She is a well rounded deity I s'pose, can't have compassion without crossness I never pictured her as cross, but no-one is in the best of mood when hot wax is being dribbled on them.

this is so very cool. have not seen fabic dyed art like this before, great job!!

I really like this picture , im doing my Junior Cert this year and have to do a bit about Batiks and printmaking and i think that this picture is beautiful ^-^
