I've been working on hardboard and lino boards for the past 2 years. Lino or hardboard board is cuked first using a special kind of knife that differs from the regular knife. It took a lot of patience to come up with a perfect attendance and the outline of the sketch I had created. Oh yes, before the cukil process, first it was to construct a visual narrative. Then I sketched them straight up on lino's board. The size I use is 20x20cm. After the sketch was finished, I was then shaving as mentioned above.
After shaving settled, I ink lino's board evenly. Then I would attach it to the surface of the kaos. The T-shirt I used in cotton's 30s. At banda aceh, this T-shirt is on sale for cheap. Although on the island of Java, the price was much cheaper. But, for me, using local products is preferable.
Below is an example of an outfit I printed for an ngo program. My production of clothing unit cost only $ 10/ Rp. 150. 000. It was a bargain compared with the sale of soap in a popular press. For a small price, I did it gladly. Because this is an area of great hobbies and great love of fine arts.
Here's a simple picture of the process. I wish it would explain to all of you. And if you live in banda aceh or in Indonesia, you can order one. Hahahaha...
