Design 1: Sacred Woman’s Song by Faye Oliver
Design 2: Corroboree by Donna McNamara
Dreamtime behind the Design 1: Faye Oliver is an experienced and well-established artist. She worked at Keringke Art Centre for about six years, as an assistant art co-ordinator. Her artworks have been exhibited in various countries. She also received a number of art awards. Through her works, she tries to bring harmony to the community. The expression of modesty can be seen in her works. She believes in trust and peace in the community. Faye’s artworks are colorful, neat and beautiful. She learned painting from sister Edith, one of the sacred heart nuns. In this design, she depicts sacred women (healers) moving around the bush in groups, singing sacred songs, and collecting different types of medicinal herbs and leaves. Some women are digging for medicinal roots with their digging sticks. They use these medicinal plants to heal the wounded.
Dreamtime behind Design 2: The Corroboree is a ceremonial gathering of Aboriginal people. There are some strict unwritten regulations that attendees have to follow. At Corroboree, Aboriginals interact with Dreamtime ancestors through dance, music, costumes and body decorations. Outside guests are not permitted to attend these ceremonies without the elder’s permission. One type of corroboree does cover all social needs. There are corroborees for various purposes such as education for children’s learning, death of a person, initiation, and others. Dance is an integral part of Aboriginal culture. It includes stories of the ancestral beings who are the creators of the universe. Dancing is learned at an early age. Corroborees have religious connotations to relate individuals with ancestral beings. Although the attendees and organizers are responsible people, they must get final clearance from the elders. Nobody is ever allowed to make any unpleasant comments about the participants or performers. Donne McNamara’s a very skilful and ardent designer. Her artwork is neat and vivid. It shows people coming from various directions to attend the corroboree. Bush foods such as witchety grubs, honey ants, bush fruits, etc. are available in the area. People are coming and sitting around the round corroboree area. Donna’s artwork is brilliant, vibrant and simply wonderful.

Numerous businesses market Aboriginal designed creations. Warrina Designs is distinguished by its exceptionally well curated selections and outstanding customer service. Products they offer under each category–art, fabric, carpets, scarves, ties, table runners, hats–feature the best of the best, which makes shopping easy at affordable price points. I needed gifts for an engaged couple in time for their wedding, and found the perfect set. I also expressed my sincere hopes and best wishes for the bride and groom. The thoughtful people at Warrina Designs transformed my comments into a beautiful card. They then upgraded the shipping I chose from standard delivery to express to insure that the present arrived on time–free of charge! The unexpected attention their staff paid to details such as these, place them in the top tier of businesses, since they think of ways to enhance the quality of the customer’s experience. Beautiful selections, thoughtful staff, exceptional service: a rare combination in today’s business world. Thank you!

I have purchased a 10×10 inch fabric pack (40 pieces), two 5×5 inch packs (268 pieces in total) and three fabric packs. The designs are beautiful – bright and striking. The fabric itself is of fantastic quality, and feels amazing. I will definitely be coming back if I am working on any other designs requiring aboriginal prints.

All three materials that I received were of excellent quality – I wish they were able to give you an inch or so more the material – it would have been a lot easier to cut in proper squares when making a quilt.
