The Batik Prizes have Arrived

May 11, 2010 By 3 Comments

CAD Notes had an AutoCAD competition last March. We provided our e-books, batik arts (paintings) and batik shirts for the winners. The e-books download links were delivered immediately after the winners have been announced. But the batik shirts need some time to get the winners sizes and get delivered to them. I’m glad that finally all the winners and the judges receive them. They took 2-4 weeks to arrive.

I’m proud of my country cultural heritage, and batik is one of them. There are many more cultural heritage from my country, but getting them delivered is a problem because of the weight and size :) Shirts are easier to pack and get delivered. I hope the winners like them. I have some pictures of the winners wearing the shirts and showing the art.

If you are interested to get similar prizes, We can arrange another competition in the future. I’ll try to find the prizes by myself, so I can get more options. We have accessories too, like slippers, hand bag, pants/shorts, even laptop case.

These are the pictures of the shirts and arts… I will update this page when I get the others pictures. Thanks for everyone who participate in the competition and sending me their images!

    When I received my prizes, I was quite surprised to see how large the Batik art was. A co-worker briefly described the process of creating batik art, so I assumed it was small because each piece seems to be one-of-a-kind. I went on YouTube and watched several videos on the process – and it was really interesting to watch, and you certainly appreciate both the talent and effort it takes to make these works of art.

      The video you see probably the traditional way to create the cloth. We call it ‘batik tulis’. The batik painting you get was created using that technique. They did create each piece manually. But later, they developed more modern way to do it.
      The more advance way is by having patterns and use it like stamps. This techniques is commonly called ‘batik cap’.
      The most advanced way to do it is using modern machine just like any other clothes. The only thing left in this techniques is the batik pattern. We call it ‘batik printing’. No more traditional techniques. The shirt was created using the last technique.
      Many people (including us) are not really aware which technique was used :) It is interesting to see how the batik was made. And I hope the prizes are interesting to you too…
