Pamekasan Pictures back in time...

 

Throwback Thursday

A Year ago  i was very lucky to have invited to see the very important and absolutely precious batik collection of Bapak Hartono Sumarsono, the owner of "Batik Kencana Ungu" 

These are few of them for you to enjoy. .

Another Show

About a month ago The Grand Palace Dept Store asked me about the support to dress their male models in their latest Nusantara-themed show. It was like before, all of their male models will wear The Pasongsongan Premium Original Creation. 

We prepared 3 different looks

Feeling Nostalgic : my First PiecesBt

Well, it was when we started a while ago, we , that means me and the Pamekasan creative teams, producing couple of batik that were fine in quality and can be bit pricey at the time. 
Looking at the quality now, it's good. 

This one, the burgundy-maroon background batik ws from around 4 years ago. As we can see it was depicting bouquet, "buketan" they said in local dialect. 
The key to understanding a piece of Pamekasan Batik is to look at the background. It always busy, just like "semarangan" did. It was and still believe that fine quality batik should be 'busy' at the background 
By the way, if you see the background leaves, it contains 3 different color, white, yellow and red/burgundy. 
And you know from this fact that it took 3 times process of exposing one-third of leaves to chemical dye, while the latter was closed by some fine wax to prevent penetration of unwanted piece.
