AbstractAi Legends and myths are found in various places in the world in each nation, as well as in Indonesia, rich in legends and myths.
This is very interesting because rarely do people research further about legends or myths, often only considered bedtime stories or just imaginary fairy tales.
But when examined in depth, there is a lot of information about a lot of hidden knowledge.
It is packaged so interestingly in a story and delivered in a spoken manner from generation to If one moment is forgotten, it will certainly result in breaking the chain of knowledge inherited from the ancestors to their descendants.
Using a cultural studies approach and reading symbols resulting from the input of actors who still maintain customs, then reinterpreted to achieve more understanding to understand the message.
So, this message is used as a source of ideas for making tamarin batik storytelling, aiming that literacy in this speech culture can also be enjoyed and understood because it is visualized.
KeywordsAi batik storytelling ideas, legend, message value.

After, there is a need to find comparisons from other logical in many science aspects to get the essential message conveyed wider.
Finding which part of the story represents the most, so it will be a perfect section without significant loss of meaning .
, .
Visual frame to put the whole story can be done in many different options: layers, small frames, or just a single frame, if it expresses the idea .
From this step, all the important subjects are then chosen to be put into a frame of rough sketch and proceed with executing the final batik tamarin work.
Tamarin powder was used as a wax substitute in this project, which tried to reduce cost and make it easier for the batik maker .

The relationship of Layang Salaka Domas to be brought to earth tells about the close relationship of the needs of all earth life that is inseparable from the sun.
Many processes in the life of the earth depend on the presence of the sun.
Star clusters in the universe also affect each other.
The attraction and position of each cannot be ignored, especially for life on earth.
addition, concerning time on earth, there is because of the It is said to be the day because the sun shines on the part of the earth, while the night is the state of the sun on the other side of the earth.
The change of day and night was then used as the concept of time, the birth of the term day, week, month, year, and century.
In other words, originally, there was astrology and counting of times later, also known as the calendar.
Story ideas become the source of product design ideas The basis of this legend was raised to be the source of the idea of batik cloth design telling stories.
Because this fairy tale is less popular in the community, especially in the younger generation .
From the whole story, a fragment of the story is taken, namely in the jogging Kalapitung is eating the sun, then the guardian seven part is chatting together, and the peak when Prabu Mundinglaya Dikusumah managed to bring Layang Salaka Domas safely.
This batik cloth is made with a placement arrangement taking three important events according to the storyline, the most interesting scenes from the whole story are Jonggrang Kalapitung is guarding Layang Salaka Guriang 7 Prabu Mundinglaya Dikusumah managed to get Layang Salaka Domas to be brought to earth This story chapter is arranged from left to right.
The figure of Jonggrang Kalapitung Giant depicted his head, focusing on the eyes and mouth as an element of dramatization and emphasis.
On the mouth of the Layang Salaka Domas is placed, this depiction is to emphasize the way he guards carefully.
The mouth part is very close to the eyes, constantly looking and alert.
The mouth is the entrance to food intake, so everything that is near the mouth will be well maintained.
The mouth only opens when a person talks or eats, making it the most perfect place of care at all times.
Jonggrang Kalapitung's mouth is only for a short time occasionally when he must release his guard, that is when he eats, and that is when he releases Layang Salaka Domas from his guard.
The figure of Jonggrang Kalapitung is depicted in contrast to the background, which is predominantly fiery red to yellow.
With a shape like hair on the head spread out to form a tongue of fire.
This shows the fierce nature of the giant figure, making a bigger impression.
The details of the eyes are described as sticking out and glaring with an emphasis on meticulous surveillance.
The wide-open part of the mouth is depicted with sharp teeth with a large and sharp left fang, these teeth are used to hold the Salaka Domas Kite firmly so as not to slip off.
The left side of the head has an image of an ear standing between the hair.
On the right side of the Jonggrang Kalapitung figure, there are seven small fireballs, which are depictions of Guriang Tujuh in the light version.
Shades of yellow were chosen to harmonize with Layang Salaka Domas.
In some sayings of Guriang Seven, it is also mentioned as the son of Layang Salaka Domas.
While the Guriang 7 group is described as a feminine figure with wings, generally, people expect a scary depiction of a figure, but in this design, a feminine figure is chosen so that the visual of batik fabric products does not become terrible.
Guriang 7 groups are described as being relaxed and having fun or chatting close to Layang Salaka Domas.
The location of Guriang 7 is at the top center, illustrating its location in the 7th sky.

The overall background of the composition was chosen in dark blue to emphasize the location of the incident in the distant sky.
Dark blue to black was chosen so that the background gives a sense of infinite distance and breadth coupled with waves representing cloud shapes scattered throughout the top and bottom of the location of Jonggrang Kalapitung and Guriang 7 because it emphasizes its location in the sky, while the shape of clouds in the Mundinglaya Dikusumah section is only at the top, describing His position that had descended from the sky.
Clouds are depicted in slightly lighter blue with white lines on the edges, this wants to tell the position in the sky with a different type of cloud from the position of the clouds, which is closer to the earth .
It is generally depicted in lighter blue.
The last one on the far right is slightly down, depicting Mundinglaya saying that he has succeeded in bringing Layang Salaka Domas safely to earth and is ready to be presented to Sunan Ambu.
This work is carried out in the Batik Tamarind technique, using tamarind powder as a wax substitute in batik making to economize attempts for the batik process .
, .
The Tamarin technique requires a cold process, and to discard it in the end is just by rinsing and gently rubbing it in water.

CONCLUSION
The philosophical meaning of the fairy tales of Mundinglaya and Layang Salaka Domas is of high value, so it needs to be spread to prospective leaders of the nation so that the country gets a complete leader, there is God in him.
Excavation of legends containing noble moral values and valuable knowledge of the universe.
far, it has only been a fairy tale, so the value is not conveyed properly.
For so long, this inherited knowledge seems to be buried so that there is a lot of damage to nature and humans because they lose the guidance of life inserted in the speech in the form of legends.
While globalization now seems to open all barriers, design and art actors are deadlocked by gas sources.
So, one of the opportunities is to explore local sources that are widely spread behind myths or legends so that there will never be a shortage of creative ideas.
New media created on the interpretation of historical stories in the form of folk legends that contain this knowledge can be a bridge to understanding and learning valuable knowledge.
In addition, it is also a tribute to legendary stories as another source of interesting and knowledge-intensive literacy.
