I would probably buy the mottles first, but would buy both. Love batiks.

I like both, but I'd have to have some more with far more definition to them.

I buy a lot of batiks, mostly the water colors. But I do like the others as well.

Watercolors, hands down over the mottles...I want to choose my own color combos, not leave it up to someone in Indonesia. That said, I don't buy watercolors much at all...the variation of pattern is too large for my taste, even if it is all the same hue.

I would prefer the watercolors. Much softer colors.

I really like both of them so it would depend on the project.

Love them both, but as far as versatility the watercolors would be more useable to me.
