Batik - What is it? Batik (ba-teek’) art is created by taking plain fabric and painting designs on it with melted wax. The cloth is then dipped in dye. The places that are waxed resist the dye and remain the original color. This is repeated for multiple colors, starting with the lightest colors and ending with the darkest. Finally, the wax is removed, leaving the design or picture. |

The Everything Seed
The Everything Seed is a creation story that is scientifically correct and yet acknowledges the spiritual nature of all life. Using the image of a growing seed, this story takes you through the unfolding of the universe up to the continuing unfolding that occurs every day. It uses simple language that children can understand; beautiful images that adults can appreciate.
