Ya, props to Taring Padi!! I am interested in initiating a small scale straw bale building project in Bantul in the new year... I have exhibited my batik in the old TP gallery back in 2005 and would like to know if anyone would be interested in helping with the project...last summer I brought books on the subject and left copies of them with Bapak Dwi Mariyanto at ISI S2, and with Eb at Milas... I hope to hear from you soon!! love, no.e sunflowrfish (aka Dj saKAna)
