Sculpture Art - sculpting puppet characters

The art of sculpture is a craft of sculpture and in harmony with the art of carving. this is a carving for figures in the world of puppetry,

in the puppet world which is very sticky with Javanese and also Indian customs, wayang usually depicts the figure of a magical person or god and so on, according to the story of the ancestors that the puppet character is a legend of the custom, can be said as his ancestor, up to this culture is highly valued and has fame to become one of the world heritage.

and here I get an order to carve or carve the face of the puppet character.

The main wood material that I use is teak wood, why teak wood ?, because teak wood has properties that cannot be porous and have a solid weight and are not easily broken when in the process of carving or carving it.

the duration of time to produce a puppet carving head takes about half a day or just 2 days.

not too time consuming for someone who is an expert like me and my members.

and the results of this result are not fully prepared, because after this there will be the next process of painting, with a very creepy face shape that resembles an animal and also this god, that makes this carving very expensive. carvings like this are sold at a price of around Rp. 500.00 or around $ 50 per unit.

here are some carvings that have not entered the painting stage:

The process of sculpting sculptures from wayang figures, just as carving is generally still using the manual method of using hands and tools such as chisels, knives, and other chisel tools.

and the painting process, not using other tools, this painting process only uses brushes, here each sculpture is painted using a brush like the picture below.

to produce extraordinary results, very lightning wood that has been carved and turned into lightning when painted and colored.

very suitable with the price that I offer, is there anyone interested from friends?

Thank you for the time that has followed the process of carving the puppet from me, and thank you for saying that I have participated by giving votes or comments. and before I say goodbye, I have one message "don't forget the cultural history that our ancestors have inherited" thank you, see you @pinguart
