the lounge hi It's me again money before you learn to canting it's a good idea to watch the video before this to reduce the risk of accidents and understand the first aid for accidents in canting practice, okay, let's start with the materials used, there is 100% cotton cloth, 100% cotton cloth that can be used for batik can only be obtained from batik material distributors, so you need to buy special batik cloth which is available in various types, starting from the best, namely Primisima Prima bir Collins blue and so on, with various brands, there are other types, namely dobby cotton which has a thick weave, then there is Paris cotton which seems thin but falls which is very suitable for Shell and also other types of fabrics which are percent of natural materials, then you can use wax or batik wax, what I use here is fine writing wax, the color is slightly yellowish, there is one tea wax which is slightly brown in color for larger areas, there is wall wax to cover the color, there is also paraffin which is usually used for candles Yes, this paraffin wax is to give a cracked effect in the batik world, it is called a colleague's wax, then you use a beautiful writing tool like this, the size of the hole can be different, there are those specifically for writing, there are those for covering or closing areas, there are also those with many beautiful eyes, more than one, starting from two beautiful eyes to seven eyes to simultaneously make many dots or multiple lines before starting to canting, make sure you have traced the planned motif, then now you can immediately canting following the pattern you drew earlier using a pencil. Hi, don't worry, the pencil trace will disappear by itself. Now we will melt the wax first. Oh yes, while waiting for the wax to melt, you need to know that there are many types of cotton cloth, cotton cloth sold on the market, for example, if you buy it in ordinary cloth shops, many of them still contain synthetic fibers or have a surface finishing on the cloth which makes the process of batik wax decay later or the absorption of batik colors becomes hampered. You can also use other natural fabrics such as silk gins cloth or Aju There are also silk, glass, blacu, and corduroy. By the way, when I was in my undergraduate degree, I wrote a thesis on creation. One of them is batik on corduroy. Maybe next time I will make a video too. Hi, here, pay attention to how I hold the canting. Maybe each of you has your own style in holding the canting. Look for one that makes you comfortable and safe. Some people like to stabilize their hands by sticking their little fingers in their thighs or like me, sticking their wrists or elbows in my own thighs. Make sure your posture is straight so that your back doesn't hurt afterwards. But if it's due to age, it ca n't be done anymore. Pay attention to how I move the drawing area on the cloth. It's better if you use a ladder to make it easier, but it seems like I'm more comfortable like this. Hi Ho, oh, mistakes like this are inevitable. In the next video, I'll show you how mice remove wax drops from the cloth. My friend used to call it chocochips batik. If there are a lot of drops of cloth on the cloth, finish each part diligently, carefully, and patiently. Batik is valued by UNESCO as an intangible heritage. because of its ability to educate human morals and character through cultural practices so what is recognized is not a real baltic sheet or not the batik object but a way of educating the descendants of the Javanese people through the process of learning batik through batik will emerge good attitudes good character to the point that some studies also have an effect on work ethic and some other studies have been used as therapy for children yes He is active to therapy for anxiety disorders for myself I like canting because it can divert focus rather than thinking or doing useless things Okay this initial stage of canting has been until finally almost finished finished covering all the pencil lines on the Balinese cloth check the cloth The back side usually there is a part of the canting trace that fades like this this must be re-canting carefully from behind the name is new if in the world of batik if it is not done the lines will look faint or not visible there is a canting trace at all even if you want to color it with colet coloring or using a color brush it will go outside the line so it is not neat so make sure you always go through the nerusi stage always check on the back whether the wax has been or not Sometimes we also check it from the penetration of the wax into the palm of our hand, if it finally penetrates and feels hot and the wax sticks to it, that's a sign that it has really penetrated well. Yo, you can do it, even though it feels difficult, this canting job is very useful for your soft skills, apart from of course experience and hard skills, your batik ability will also increase.
