Description

This traditional Kashmiri handicraft vitally suppliments an often fluctuating rural income. Wool is custom dyed to match the original artist's image and hand stitched onto a cotton base. Each cushion is backed with natural coloured cotton canvas, and closes with a zip. Please note cushion fillers are not included. Royalties are paid to the artists for sales of this product.


Story: Janganpa Jukurrpa (common brush-tail possum [Trichosurus vulpecula] Dreaming) travels all over Warlpiri country. "janganpa' are nocturnal animlas that often next in the hollows of white gum trees('wapunungka').  This story comes from the big hill named Mawurrji, west of Yuendumu and north of Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs).
