Safari Moon for Kids
Batiked and seriagraphed on children's apparel are whimsical, almost oneiric, animal forms resembling
cave pictographs, all originating from watercolors and block prints from trips to Namibia and other parts
of the world. Other animal forms take on concepts from Chinese calligraphy, fossils, and M.C. Escher's
tessallations. Motifs are not always so obvious or tell a visual story about the subject, which indirectly
stimulates a child's imagination.
About the Batik Wear
In order to create an artistic product with good work ethics the hand batik is outsourced in Bali, Indonesia
under Fair Trade conditions.
Features of the batik and tie-dye line
-a colorful garment that emphasizes the solid batiked or silkscreen animal depicted.
-All dyes used meet US Congress lead limits and are environmentally safe.
-silk screened colors are water based.
Each garment made in Bali is unique since it's hand-crafted, so each shirt or dress can be
appreciated for it's imperfection and artistic quality.
