CUSHION COVER WOOL 40cm

These beautiful, unique textiles are a cross -cultural collaboration combining Aboriginal designs and tradional Kashmiri handicraft. The chain-stitched (Gabba in local Kashmiri) cushions are hand stitched by

rural folk in remote villages in one specific region of Kashmir. Over generations they have honed their skills and refined their hand crafted produce. Only the most skilful artisans can faithfully reproduce the images we send to them. Aboriginal artists in remote regions in Australia, as well as others living in the cities, benefit from regular royalties paid monthly, as well as using these products to tell other people about their rich cultural heritage.

Ngurunderi Nepeli and Waiyungari up in the Milkyway.
Ngurunderi came down the river Murray making our country with the help of Pondi the big Murray cod they made Ngarrinjeri Country. When they were done Ngurunderi put his canoe up in the big sky turning it into the Milkyway where he still lives today.
