the 2 pieces under the little ad are not real batik. they're regular prints from the mainland. i just liked them. everything else is made and sold only in alaska. the reds are much redder than they look in the photos. the dyes are very heavy. you can feel it when you rub it between your fingers.
i forgot to show the one picture i have of a fabric store. it looks like a cute fabric store in a tourist town.
