Of course, while living and working in Indonesia for over three years,
we did bring home some of its beautiful Batik.
From Bali we got a large batik on cotton, with birds.
This one hangs in our dining room.

From the Kraton Palace in Yogjakarta, Indonesia, we got this beautiful silk batik.
They gave demonstrations inside the Palace, about batik painting and we did buy this.
Together with our best friends from Dublin we visited there during the weekend.
This Palace is worthwhile to visit if you ever travel to Indonesia!
With the glass, it is rather difficult to capture this beauty on silk.
It is hanging in our veranda, where windows are on two sides...

The matting of this one, and also the framing of the top batik, has been done as usual by Irok Gallery. They do museum quality framing!
