    • Chart,cloth (we can use this in sarees-dye effect)
    • Colours used for the design - yellow, red, brown, black….-main
    • wax-crayon white initially rather than taking paraffin wax initially(we can do tis in cloths using paraffin wax)
    • Brush - A small water colour brush, a <SUP>1</SUP>/<SUB>2</SUB>" size and a 2" size of the ordinary paint brush. Vessel or bowls to mix colours
    • A frame to fix the cloth

    Procedure:
    1. Trace the design
    2. shade the areas where you need white apperarence…with wax-crayon(white)
    3. now apply glue or water over entire desing…
    4. now shade with colors u like

    Dear Ashu
    Do you know we can make bakti painting in microwave too??
    1st decide what you want on the cloth and tie that area with thick thread tightly and dip the cloth in whichever colour u want on the cloth take it in a microwave dish and keep it the microwave for around 3 minutes then remove and wash the cloth in salt water so that the colour doesn't come off and dry it and you will get beautiful bakti prints on the cloth. At present don't have any made or would have posted.
    Your designs are beautiful I liked the middle one the best.
