A modern Batik Wall Hanging, by Peter Mijer and Jean Paul Slusser
In the decorative panel by Jean P. Slusser on [page 45] the figures have been treated with a rather light crackle and the background between the tree trunks with a much heavier crackle. In the memorial panel on [page 48] the semi-circular framing band and the ground below the figure have been crackled carefully. Both of these uses of crackle suggested are suggestive of desirable possibilities of the crackle forms. A similar use of crackle to add variety to special plain surfaces is illustrated in the framing panel of the drapery on [page 43].
