Lost Girl Jennifer Baggett continues her Andros Field Trip...
You’ve seen them used as beach blankets. You’ve watched women tie them around their bikini-clad waists. Perhaps your college roommate even used one as a wall hanging. Give up? The answer is batik.
I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this, but if you’d asked me what batik was before my recent visit to Andros Island in the Bahamas, my top three guesses probably would have been:
1) Exotic hard wood used to make furniture. Boring!
2) Stiff sugarcane rum. Much better!
3) An indigenous plant with hallucinogenic properties. Um... no comment!
