“In September 2023, Lou and I entered an outdoor courtyard in a traditional house in Ubud. We were given a piece of white cotton with a pattern already drawn, then shown how to use the tjanting tool to trace hot wax over the lines. After we added the first wax layer, he added hot liquid to any accidental blobs with a spoon, which melted them off.”
