Three women from Lanna (northern Thailand) pose cheerfully in an original composition of great charm. Alaya Cholprasertsuk's design portrays the lovely ladies using batik on 100% cotton in a pair of cushion covers, ideal for informal contemporary decor.

Batik is a fabric art in which the cloth is stretched on a wooden frame and the design sketched with a pencil. Then a mixture of melted wax and resin (70%/30%) is painted onto areas where color is not desired and the fabric is dipped in a solution of reactive dye, water, salt, and sodium bicarbonate. When the fabric is crumpled into the dying solution, the wax cracks, creating an attractive network of fine lines. The wax is removed and process is repeated for each color utilized. Finally, the cloth is washed and rinsed to remove any excess dye.

This pair will feature the same design, but the colors may vary slightly to those pictured, making each a unique work of art.

Alaya Cholprasertsuk's design depicts the lady surrounded by soft and warming hues using batik on cotton, with a button closure at the back. These cushion covers are ideal for a room of feminine inspiration.
