The Magic On The Making

Couple of days ago a had the opportunity to have a short visit to Podhek Village (near pamekasan city) to say hello tos community and the fellow batikers and i had the chance witnessing the process of the masterpiece in the making. It was planned to be "the one" since from the very beginning from the material selection to the batiking process it was done with meticulous attention from both Bang Rusydi and the boys.
The agenda of having masterpiece will be important because it will be just like testing the market's tolerance for this kind of quality and the price demanded 9yes, it will be more expensive than previous creation).The market acceptance will be important because this will determind whether we can produce this kind of quality again in the future, or it will face difficulties to 'convince' the respective/potential buyer to see what it should worth. So it will be a boundary-breaker also, for the sake of price and quality.
The Zen garden ; it will be named after finished; will be another milestones because of :
- The very unique background (isen-isen) that will consist of thousands yin-yang balls that afer finish it will give 3-D effect thanks to the detailed 'nitik' technique .
- this (the batiking process) will be done in both side of the fabric. It will be a twice longer time-labor as compared to 'normal' piece, and rarely the batik labor do that nowadays.
- The Background (Isen-isen) in the lower border (terang bulan) using rawan enggok rendering, that is a very fine and uniform. and dont forget again : it will be done in BOTH sides.
- Price threshold will hopefully have new higher for a piece of new Pamekasan-Podhek Batik. ( after all, it will worth the investment and the art value in it).
And just like everything on the east : pray to have all be in His way to have the result as perfect as we hoped for, and it will be a greater benefit for batik Podhek's and for all involved.
