Floating Threads represents an attempt to catalogue float weave techniques used to decorate Batik cloth throughout the archipelago and hints at possible lines of distribution. Being a coffee-table book, photographs are an important part of the story. Our main sources for photography have been collections in Indonesia's own provincial museums and the National Museum of Indonesia with gaps filled by local collectors and foreign museums when not available in Indonesia. Unfortunately, Indonesia's provincial museums were established after 1950, when specimens of some textiles were no longer available in the country, the prime examples of this being the pinatikan of North Sulawesi and the Kalumpang (West Sulawesi) textiles featured in Chapter Two. The photographed textiles cover the 19th century to the present, complementing the text which reaches into the distant past and includes recent experimentations, for contemporary fabrics are as important as historical weavings to the continuation of Indonesia's precious textile traditions. Modernization is the only way to keep weavers interested in plying their trade, stimulated by the popularity of their products. New forms will always arise to replace old styles that have fallen out of favor, but there will always be a weaver or two who will go beyond craft-production to the level of fine art, as the reader will see in this book. The discussion has been expanded with technical details of specific weaves by the Japanese scholar Keiko Kusakabe, a PhD candidate who has been trekking through the difficult terrain of West and northern South Sulawesi for over a decade in her quest for information on traditional textile production techniques in the region. Keiko keeps these techniques alive by teaching them to her students in Japan.

Songket textiles are gleaming presige cloths created when hand-loom weavers add metal-wrapped threads to create intricate bands of geometric and botanical designs. Employing a weaving technique that is hundreds of years old in Malaysia, Sumatra, coastal Kalimantan, and east Bali and nearby idlands, songket artistry is a thriving, living, even expanding art form, as a marketable commodity, for sale as heritage textile and collectible. Susan Rodgers is professor of anthropology a the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts.

Textiles are "talking testimonies" of mythology, identity, prosperity, and way of life. Settlers, traders, and conquerors came to Indonesia from all over the world, bringing with them a variety of ethnicities, languages, religions, and cultures. The Harms collection of songkets--Indonesian hand-woven, intricately-patterned brocade of silk or cotton--have many stories to tell. There are the splendid, prestigious cloths to be worn at court, family heirlooms depicting ancient codes of conduct, ritual cloths with magic powers attributed to them and, not least, fashionable dress. All the items show outstanding craftsmanship and are still of great significance, particularly for ceremonial occasions. Haio Harms traces the stories of the cloths and their background, seeking to convey something of the charm of these superb textiles.
