Wall hanging, made to be used as a selendang or shoulder cloth, very fine hand-drawn batik tulis on cotton, 92"x20" from Lassem circa 1960. Notice the very fine lines of the floral motif made possible by the finest opening of the wax top allow the color top to penetrate just a very fine line, a very laborious and difficult process.

Yesterday , I enjoyed an interesting couple of talks at Quilters Guild London and Middlesex Regional Day, both of them concerned with the people behind the textile:in Indonesia and in Mongolia. A bit of retail therapy was also in order from Textile Techniques ( some natural and indigo hemp from Thailand and 'Batik Transitions' book). I've bought several things from them in the past, including this old block printed 'selendang' (carrying scarf) from Java. I'd bought it 10 years ago thinking of wave/sand patterns but I haven't yet plucked up the courage to cut it. Diane Gaffney also showed examples of finely pleated skirts by the Miao hilltribes of the 'Golden Triangle' in Indochina, intricately embroidered and appliqued. Some of these had been made into jackets - far more wearable. I'd bought this rather plainer example at a Knit and Stitch show- the indigo dyeing and batik is lovely and subtle. I'm wondering now whether I should unpick it, wash it and use it rather than it being stuffed in a box. It is in 2 sections so I could retain 1 pleated section. After the regional day, I used the opportunity of being in the area to go the the V&A , my favourite museum. They'd just opened a new bookshop and I browsed the extensive textile sections. Poring over the books in the sculpture section was .....Antony Gormley(instantly recognisable from using his own body as the basis for so many of his pieces). Didn't see him buy anything tho' despite a 10% discount but then neither did I. This galvanised metal lawn edging that has just arrived is rather sculptural. I've always had a thing about spirals.

Eine schöne, handgefertigte Batik aus Pekalongan. Tulis ist das indonesische Wort, das verwendet wird, um eine Batik zu beschreiben, die völlig handgefertigt ist, indem man das Wachs auf das Material "gießt". Es wird nicht durch Stempel oder durch mechanisches Drucken auf das Material hergestellt. Dies ist die traditionelle und arbeitsintensivste Art, eine Batik zu machen. Pekalongan ist ein berühmtes Batikzentrum an der Nordküste Javas, wo die Chinesen erstmals synthetische Farbstoffe und florale Motive einführten. Diese Batik hat einen dunkelgrünen Hintergrund mit einem Blumen- und Vogelmuster in hellgrün, blau, lila, rot, orange und weiß. Es hat auch einen passenden Selendang (Schal oder Stola, in der Regel über der Schulter getragen) und ist in sehr gutem Zustand auf weicher Baumwolle. Ein Kain ist ein Stück Material, das etwa 2 oder etwas mehr Meter lang ist. Dieser ist 103cm hoch und 240cm lang. Der selendang ia 50cm x 172cm. Ein hervorragendes Beispiel für indonesische Batik.

A beautiful, old batik kain and selendang from Pekalongan in Java. Tulis is the Indonesian word used to describe a batik that is totally handmade by "kanting" (pouring) the wax onto the material.

Pekalongan is a famous batik centre on the north coast of Java where the Chinese first introduced synthetic dyes and floral motifs. This is a classic Pekalongan batik with the main part of the batik having a beige and dark green background with a pattern with of flowers, birds, butterflies and peacocks in red, blue and green. There is a section with a red background with a floral pattern in blue, green and white. It is in very good condition and nice soft cotton. A kain is a piece of material about 1 metre wide by 2 or slightly more metres in length. This one is 105cm high by200cm long. A selendang (or shawl) is usually worn over one shoulder and matches the kain or sarong. this one is 51cms wide by 172 cms long. A superb example of Indonesian batik.
