Stencil cut out of a zinc panel and then chiselled with a star and flower motif. The surface is then coated with cassava starch, using the stencil. Starch is only applied to one side of the cloth. The starch resist technique is used with a cold indigo dye-bath. Repeated immersion is required and great care is taken, not to crack the resist.
