In leather batik, the “crackle effect” refers to the fine, delicate lines that appear in the finished design. This is a highly sought-after characteristic of handcrafted batik and is created by intentionally cracking the dried wax layer (Or natural gum whichever we are using for batik design) before the final dyeing process. Before the final dye bath, the artist folds, scrunches, or crushes the leather. This action creates tiny cracks in the hardened wax layer. The crackle effect adds a unique, organic, and textured look to the leather. It provides a visual depth that distinguishes one type of handmade batik where the texture of the spectacle case is not smooth. There is a network of fine lines or “veins” that appear in the middle of the spectacle case . This spectacle case uses this leather batik work.
