Saw this gorgeous lady @t.a.tt.s in person tonight BUT hadn’t seen she’d posted this. She designed and made this fabulous dress from @papulankutjaartists fabric - printed by @nextstateprint in Melbourne.

The big news is that this fabric is from the @flyingfoxfabrics collection under license from Papulankutja in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands in WA. Just haven’t had time to get the fabric online (for sale) yet. How we this and 21 other vibrant designs are available at @songlines_arts

Wishing Tatiana the best of luck for #foyfl 😘🤗😘

🌈 Six vibrant hand embroidered cushion covers are now on their way to Colorado, US. Such a joyous design about sandhills by Nellie Nakamara Marks from Central Australia. Also available as a rug/wall hanging.

The Better World Arts cushion covers are accredited #fairtrade and contribute to livelihoods for Kashmiri artisans and Australian First Nations artists. We stock more than 70 designs in all the colours of the rainbow and neutrals as well. Available from our Etsy store (link in bio).

Tanya from SA (although really from The Kimberleys) dropped in today. She found us via @ikuntjiartists (thank you 😘). She’s a keen follower of #handprintedfabrics and has a fabulous wardrobe that just got a little bit bigger. Ironically, this gorgeous top (which looks perfect!) was created in Port Lincoln SA by @suecattcreative - however it was made from a mix of Northern Territory design and fabric stash treasures including a super sweet hummingbird print. It was made for #frockon2021 PS: the detail is that the back is all one piece of the feature fabric.

The print is Kumunjtayi Dixon’s Little Trees design and comes from Ikuntji Artists in Haasts Bluff NT.

This fabric is available in our Etsy shop (link in bio) and on our website.

Lawrence, Josephine and Angilyiya from @papulankutjaartists in the back of the troopie. We were on the long journey home (2 days drive) from Revealed in Perth in 2019. All are wonderfully talented artists.
The middle cushion cover (swipe left) is Josephine’s design.

We stock more than 70 different embroidered cushion covers in our Etsy shop (link in bio) - in a glorious range of colours. 💫 Free Express Post to anywhere in Australia in lockdown!!

Have loved the hand embroidered cushions and rugs/wallhangings made by Better World Arts since I first met founder Carolyn Wilson when she was working with just one art centre back in 2004 in the APY Lands … so it gives me great joy to see how many artists are now receiving recognition and royalties from collaborating with Better World Arts, including many friends. The BWA products are not only beautiful, they are ethical and certified #fairtrade

Will share more soon.

Gorgeous new hand embroidered cushion covers in our Etsy shop! (Link in bio) They join the other 70 or so we have available in 30 and 40 cm - a fantastic range!! We ship anywhere in the world (and frequently do).

It’s no secret that Better World Arts make the best and brightest cushions, not to mention that they are certified #fairtrade and madly hard wearing. They are even kid proof.

Designs reproduced under license, royalties paid. BWA specialises in First Nations arts and crafts. The cushions are carefully crafted in Kashmir using pure wool stitched on a cotton canvas backing. This is called ‘gabba’. So the project creates livelihoods in two countries: Kashmir and Australia.

Artists: Samuel Miller, Nellie Nakamara Marks, Carolyn Wilson

🌟 Can finally share photos of the day when Joanna Barrkman finally saw her amazing (and now Award Winning) book: Aboriginal Screen-printed Fabrics from Australia’s Top End for the first time. Featuring Babbarra Designs, Injalak Arts, Jilamara Arts, Merrepen Arts, Munupi Arts and Tiwi Design. Last week it picked up the R.L. Shep Award from the Textile Society of America.🥳🎉🙌

The book is a labour of love, scholarship and diplomacy.

Thrilled to let you know we have a limited number of copies available in-store. Plus a display copy if you’d just like to gaze and appreciate it.

It’s a wonderful publication and catalogue of the exhibition she curated for the Fowler Museum UCLA. Unfortunately the exhibition was postponed from July 2020 until late 2021 and the publication was also delayed … but so worth the wait. It’s a huge milestone for First Nations arts and textiles in Australia.

Congratulations to the @fowlermuseum team and everyone involved. Bloody marvellous!!

Duty of disclosure: I have a couple of essays in it 😜
