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.'

I read the reviews and took a chance anyway with the advice from a customer service employee at O who had seen this item. HE was RIGHT ON !!! IT comes in a very special Presendation Box with the name of the craftsperson on the card and with the seal from National Geographic on it. You know you are getting a one of a kind scarf, not a over-precessed machine made work of trash, but a one of a kind, all hand made, with much care and beauty, piece of art. Mine had very much gold in it as well as touches of orange and green, so lovely. Having watched much PBS TV and how this process is done, I appreciate each scarf, no matter how much of one color is on one item. IF your read the descriptions, it clearly says each is made by hand and by my thinking, each would be different. Love and cherish mine. Thank you O for the adventure! Epoole
I was disappointed when I received the scarf because it did not look as nice as the one depicted in the photo. Unlike the photo, there wasn't much gold in it at all; it was much more brown than gold and quite smaller than the photo made it seem. I think it would be more helpful to customers if they placed another photo that better reflects the scarf 's appearance.
