Bush Onion Dreaming- Doll's Swaddle
Handmade doll’s swaddle/blanket to use for pretend play. Designed using beautiful authentic Aboriginal artwork.
Approx 50cm x 50cm
Ages 3+
The fabric used is called Bush Onion Dreaming by Julianne Turner Nungarri
Julianne has depicted the bush onion, or Merne Yalke, which grows in sandy creek bottoms. This tiny delicacy may be eaten raw or cooked. The painting shows circles, the sites formed during the dreaming as the Nambajimba and Nungarrayi women wandered the barren land, bringing the physical landscape and the foods to life. The bush onions are shown as the white circles.
About the dress maker:
My daughter Mia is Aboriginal (Darumbal Country); so it has always been important to me to teach Mia about her heritage, culture and family history. So I feel very honoured and proud to create this collection of clothing in collaboration with Miniland Dolls Australia and the launch of their new Australian Aboriginal Miniland dolls.
Children learn through play; so incorporating these new Australian Aboriginal Miniland dolls and this collection of clothing featuring Aboriginal artwork is an exciting step towards improving all children’s knowledge and understanding of the Aboriginal history and culture.
