Artisan Yuni Kristina

'I learned the art of batik when I was very young, since my mother is a batik artist. She has been making batik at home for 23 years, while waiting each day for my father, a fisherman, to come home from the sea. As you can imagine, batik is a part of my life. I started experimenting with the technique when I was 13 years old, with mori textiles. My mother is my inspiration. She and I still design together, especially the floral and bird motifs that are typical in Pekalongan batik. My husband Rieckey also helps me a lot because he knows what people like abroad, and then I can focus on creating. I would like the batik of Bali to become well known around the world, since its beauty is outstanding.'

Beautiful scarf (EvalynG, California, 2008-01-04)

I bought this scarf for my mom who misses traditional Malaysian batik apparel/ accessories. The scarf is gorgeous but is very thin because it is silk so I wouldn't recommend it for warmth, just accessorizing. The pattern is lovely- gold, ivory, and neutral colors- and is perfect over black or white outfits. Wonderful gift. Beautiful scarf, great price.

NO COMPLAINTS...such a beautiful gift to give (Candybutt, Spangdahlem AB, Germany, 2008-02-01)

I gave this item to two very special people in my life, that are completely different in lifestyle, HOWEVER they both loved it. One of them loved the story behind the item and loved the quality of it, the other loved it's versatility. I recommend this item for any mature woman that you are just lost in figuring out what to give.

Excellent Present (nailuj, West Covina, CA, 2008-03-04)

I gave this to my eldest sister. All she said how much she love it and keep asking me where I got it. It looks cool but it keeps you warm. Nice color and very sophisticated.
