Those of you interested in Indonesian batik may find this website of interest:
http://www.northcoastjavanesebatik.com/
It covers both fine old pieces of batik from the north coast of Java - the Pasisir - as well as good pieces from current workshops. Clearly the website/blog of a devoted enthusiast sharing good information and love of this style of batik.
I attach the first image from the website: "Pekalongan, Java, cc. 1890s. Skirt cloth kain panjang. Cotton, natural dyes; batik tulis 2011.38 [Mick Richards Photography]"
