Good day and Greetings all. Today I wanted to show you some handmade color print clothes that's currently doing at home. Which only left the elderly that are doing. So less talking let's go.
This is Harry. She's resting on cold sand that she just dig. And well just beside the area they're preparing coating and cooking the clothes. Please pardon me for such messy area as over the village resources are kinda limited here.
Not all leaf can be boiled for it's color. But for sure all used wood or charcoal to boiled it for more than 2 hours in order to get it's color.
Mangosteen soaked for few days in order to get the purple color out from it's shell. Well I know the look isn't quite pleasant, but bear with me is all nature ingredient.
After few days of waiting, this is how it looks like. Not much left but still able to dye some clothes with. After you soaked / dye the clothes with, you'll need to tie and let it shape the pattern (which are random) for couple of hours before drying up.
While waiting it, let me show you around some other equipment that mother in law use to make silk. This 3 item all made from wood. Tradition way with tradition machine.
Hand spin to roll up the string.
4 wooden machine to be exact. All were done by hand. Handmade 100%
Now is the time to let it to be dry. As you can see both pattern are random. No one will wear the same as yours 😂😂
Drying up before getting it to deliver. Whole process use only human and handmade. The making process really open my eye. Amazing and impressive. Wonderful experience I must say. Well that's for today color coating print. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you and see you soon.
