We miss this girl in Darwin!!! Here’s @naomi.e.j modelling the awesome @clothartistannareynolds outfit made for #frockon2021 - a project @flyingfoxfabrics facilitated for @ikuntjiartists … look closely and you can see glimpses of a whole bunch of Ikuntji Artists hand screen printed fabrics.

Same fabric as yesterday’s jumpsuit - now as a Delia bag. These bags are not online because each is radically different due to the print placement. DM if you’d like to see pics of what we have.

Vivianne is a weaver and taught at our recent Pandanus weaving workshop. She’s a Bininj-Kunwok speaker from West Arnhem Land currently living in Darwin. She couldn’t resist this amazing Delia bag featuring a fabric print created by @anindilyakwa_arts … and …. it’s a print of Pandanus weaving and Pandanus strands!!! Perfect ⭐️

The bag was made by @flyingfoxfabrics in collaboration with @womenforwomencambodia - a social enterprise that employs disabled women in Phnom Penh.

Thanks to these terrific blokes for sorting the electrics on my new market-ready wheels. Not sure what their business name is but they’re in Duke Street, Stuart Park.
This little gem of trailer was waiting on Facebook marketplace for weeks to meet me…. which is extremely lucky as I’d completely overlooked that we’d need something bigger than a RAV4 to lug stuff about.
@mindilmarket here we come!!

Representing two of the most remote electorates in the Territory means my sissy Selena Uibo: Member for Arnhem and I spend a lot of our time on the road or in the air.

Doesn’t mean there’s not a little bit of time to style up in between flights though 😜

Wendy is visiting Darwin and loves colour. She couldn’t choose which Delia bag she loved more. She ended up with two because her beloved aunt (moi) gifted her the other as a belated significant birthday pressie 🎁. It’s a cunning plot to lure her into being a brand ambassador (she’s a stylista). This Delia is a Jennifer Mitchell Rockholes print from @papulankutjaartists - fabric printed in Australia.

Christine, sewist extraordinaire, shows what can be done with (just!!) 15 cm of beautiful hand-printed @ikuntjiartists fabric. 💃🏾
She’s not a fan of being photographed so I tricked her with a video (and some cheeky chat). She’s happy with this! The fabric is Kuruyultu by Eunice Napanangka Jack.

There’s even an essay about our collaboration in the Ikuntji Textiles book (she’s holding). We have it in our online store.

What a fantastic initiative!! Imagine if other Australian Embassies were inspired by this example. There are so many amazing uniquely AUSTRALIAN fabrics to choose from. Plus it contributes to local economies.
Congrats to @pubtextiles for hand printing this commission 👏

The Australian Consul General in Ho Chi Min in Vietnam reached out to us last year and got all their uniforms made in our fabrics!
So proud to see Keturah Zimran’s design being worn for the special occasion of International Women’s Day!

Inserting a zip!! One of the Delia bags we made for @bulabulaarts being carefully put together in a social enterprise workshop in Phnom Penh. The fabric was printed in the art centre in Ramingining in the Northern Territory of Australia. The sweet design is Finches by Andrew Wanamilil.

I’ve seen printed reproductions of kente cloth, but not photos of production before. Thanks to Siri for sharing these.
