Patterns

Yesterday I found this wallpaper. I loved the pattern on the first sight, although I still prefer white walls. I would love to create folders and books from this pattern. But it's made for a wall, so a bit to big...

It reminds me on a traditional Batik Tulis* pattern from Cirebon, Indonesia. A pattern which seems to be shown very often in Indonesia at the moment. At least last summer every Batik researcher, I met in Jakarta was talking about it :)

* Batik Tulis is the most expensive Batik, as it's totally handwritten. No prints are used to guide the hands. The patterns are free handed drawings.
