Designing Batik Motifs The Source of Mycteria Cinerea Ideas Through Batik Writing Techniques

Abstract

This design was made as a form of developing batik motifs with the source of the idea of bluwok cranes. This is
against the background of the phenomenon of decreasing the population of bluwok herons, so wants to show the beauty
of the bird which is now rarely found in batik motifs. In addition, cranes have philosophical values that can be developed
into the basis for designing the basic structure of batik patterns. The method used in this design is the method of creating
works SP. Gustami, through three main stages, namely the exploration, design, and embodiment stages. The technique
used in this design is in the form of a writing batik technique with the bidding of the colet technique using a remasol dye.
The result of this design is in the form of written batik products as textile materials for women's clothing aged 20-25. The
resulting motifs lead to contemporary batik motifs that tend to be free and not bound by certain rules. The visuals of the
dashing crane are processed into motifs that tend to be weakly started like women (feminine), so that they have a novelty
value. The technique used in this design is batik writing with the coloring of the colet technique using remasol dyes.
