When I run out of cord I need to stain more. Soaki

When I run out of cord I need to stain more. Soaking and rubbing ochre into the fibres is what gives the natural material it’s rich earthy red colour. Waiting for it to dry might take a while. 🥱

And now to weave. The practice of traditional weaving wasn’t just the role of women. Men had a huge part in this practice as well. They would construct nets, traps and other useful items for carrying loads. This part of the project is to teach myself how to weave so I can perfect it for the next part of the project.

Still working with the cotton tree, a branch is stripped and split to hand carve a set of needles. Ocher is used to stain and buff the ends to give it a nice polished feel.

Little Bub and a wombat getting to know each other

Little Bub and a wombat getting to know each other.
Did you know... The pouch a wombat uses to carry her young opens towards her rear rather than her face. This distinction allows mother wombats to dig without scooping dirt into her baby’s home. Because wombat bodies are fairly low to the ground, this backward-facing pouch orientation also provides extra protection to the baby, or joey, while the wombat is walking. .
