I perhaps write very little or even I haven't written much about batik for ages. And maybe I haven't mentioned that I had opened a new Etsy shop when I sell
Indonesian batiks and
Japanese vintage kimonos. I love traditional textiles.
Well, as per December 2015 (if my memory is correct) I opened a new shop on Etsy. I decided to sell batiks and vintage kimonos, two of my favorite textiles and garments.
I obtain the batiks from various batik centers in
Java. These two batiks are from a batik center in the north coast of Java called
Lasem. Batiks from Lasem have been known for their intricate designs. It may look crowded and yet the crowdedness make the batiks of Lasem look even more beautiful. These batiks, for example, have beautiful color combinations.
These batiks are all
hand drawn, which means the batik artists draw the designs directly onto the cloth, and
hand dyed.
First one is floral blue green batik fabric cotton. The background color is dark green with white floral design while the highlight flower design is in blue and yellow.
The
second one is just as beautiful as the first one. This one has brown
white floral design and the main design are in green and purple.
These beautiful pieces can be found and purchased here,
Etsy Shop.
