MANUFACTURER: M & S Textiles Australia

AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL ARTIST:   Lauren Doolan comes from Santa Terese in Central Australia.  She belongs to the Doolan family and speaks the aboriginal Arrernte language.  Her 'dreaming' involves wild desert flowers, dancing spirits and spirit people.

THE DESIGN:  The Australian outback is a vast area with a very harsh climate, extreme temperatures and almost no rainfall.  Occasionally when it rains, this barren land showcases its beauty with a kaleidoscope of colour from the bloom of beautiful wild flowers as far as the eye can see. The aboriginal people of Australia consider the bloom of wildflowers, pods, and bush beds to be a blessing and celebrate the event at their traditional rituals and corroboree (gatherings).

Aboriginal women decorate themselves with the wild flowers, daisies and bush leaves when they gather for dancing, singing, corroboree, storytelling, etc.  Some wildflowers are believed to represent spiritual ancestors.  Gently blowing in the wind the wildflowers sing, dance, and relax people with their breathtaking beauty and fragrance.

DISCLAIMER: One of the drawbacks of buying fabric online is that in spite of every effort made by the Seller to provide a photo that represents the true colour of the item, it is impossible to do so, as the colour appears differently on every computer screen. Therefore the item you receive may be a slightly different shade to what appears on your computer screen.
