Travelers will first select a design template or draw their own freehand onto plain cotton or silk before using a canting, a traditional copper tool with a spouted nib, to carefully trace these lines with hot, liquid wax, which acts as a resistant barrier. Once the wax outline cools and hardens, they will use brushes to apply vibrant fabric dyes within the sealed sections, knowing that wherever the wax has penetrated the cloth will repel the color and remain pristine. For more complex, multi-colored patterns, this meticulous process of waxing and dyeing is repeated for each new color, layer by layer, before the final, magical step where the finished creation is dipped in a chemical solution or boiling water to melt away all the wax, revealing the sharp, resist-defined masterpiece they created beneath.
