Bali Batik The Excellence of the Balinese People
Modern batik artists express themselves through various subjects, objects of nature such as birds or fish to daily activities such as cremation (ngaben) procession or tourist attractions as well as mythological and religious stories, accompanied by modern interpretation. The Ikat and Double Ikat are two amazing techniques that the Balinese have perfected. A piece of Ikat cloth is woven so that the ink is “bound” (which is’ ikat ‘literally translated) in one son. A Double Ikat recursively repeats this technique, the son of containing ink. The ink will bleed neihboring to its area, and the result is a distinctive piece of fabric, subtle patterns.
The village of Tenganan is well known for his superb double ikat work. A good piece of double ikat May take months to complete, and it usually belongs to the family legacy. Some models, like the black and white, plaid, double ikat are considered to have powers of protection against evil spirits. Thus, they are very used to cover or clothe statues that guard the entrance of a temple or sacred as Barong masks.
A piece of Ikat batik shirt or a wrap-around, everyone can be had for as little as a few dollars, are essential. Local clothing stores will be happy to provide you with these or other types of Balinese clothing that might interest you.
