It focus is on Indonesian batiks (with some mention of Malaysia/Singapore). It was interesting to read the analyses of the different foreign influences on individual designs - Indian, Chinese, Arab etc. Batik making was apparently a multi-cultural industry in Indonesia, with Arabs and Chinese who had settled in the region starting their own workshops.Wolfberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616844043646223382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541297457677268058.post-36990376130663958312012-12-31T08:33:14.606-08:002012-12-31T08:33:14.606-08:00Oh but see, you're talking to the crazy lady w...Oh but see, you're talking to the crazy lady who hunts down different basket weaving patterns, down to the dyes and materials used in the different regions.<br /><br />I would love hear more about your sources for regional batik patterns!<br /><br />And I'd be rude to ask without giving, so here's a lovely visual book on the matter of texture and patterns : Pacific Pattern by Susanne Kuchler and Graeme Were.<br /><br />jnguyễnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479079553134597550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541297457677268058.post-51449488009545852482012-12-03T19:00:02.545-08:002012-12-03T19:00:02.545-08:00Thank you :-) I spent quite a bit of time reading ...Thank you :-) I spent quite a bit of time reading up on Indonesian and Malaysian batik patterns for this illustration. Not that anyone is going to notice the details in a letter-size print, lol, but it was fun to learn a little bit about the diversity and complexity of Southeast Asian fabric designs.Wolfberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616844043646223382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541297457677268058.post-22956506407147696192012-12-02T20:09:04.577-08:002012-12-02T20:09:04.577-08:00Oh love.
