Christmas is just around the corner.....
Christmas always seems to come by quicker every year, if you are overseas or need a little Aussie gift for someone check out the site ,(home page) I've got some great drink coasters, pin pals and Christmas tree hangers made out of pine featuring cute Aussie animals.
They would slip into an envelope perfectly with the card. A great gift for $4.00.

Handmade Kangaroo leather belts
I don't know what it is, but this month I've been selling a lot of plaited leather belts.
Usually Father's Day they are extremely popular, also for grand fathers, but it's great to get emails from guys who have had one of my plaited leather belts for over 10 years and are now wanting to replace it with a new one.
Many get very sentimental about their belts, leather does mould into your body and become really comfortable to wear. I'm always happy to hear from satisfied customers, they have been 100% made in Australia using the stockman's traditional plaiting since the 1930's.

Art from the Kimberley
www.makingtracks.com.au - Books I would recommend..... Contemporary Aboriginal Art by Sue McCulloch, Images of Power by Judith Ryan ad Aboriginal Art by Wally Caruana, all available on the Making Tracks website
In 1995 the National Gallery or Victoria had an exhibition, Images of Power, featuring the four main art producing areas of the Kimberley, it was a comprehensive display of modern works.
The four art producing areas of the Kimberley are:
Warmun, Turkey Creek area, south of Kununurra with artists such as Rover Thomas, Jack Britten, Freddy Timms, Queenie McKenzie, Henry Wambiny, Hector Jandany, Paddy Jaminji. The paintings, all done in ochres, depicted the countryside, historical happenings and places of great spiritual significance.
Going northwest, the towns of Derby and Kalumburu is the traditional home of the Wandjina the creator spirit, the cave paintings of these sacred spirits have been there for over 40,000 years. Some of the Wandjina painters are David Mowaljarlai, Jangarra and Karedada family, Jack Wheera
Balgo Hills on the edges of the Tanami and Great Sandy deserts has some of the wildest artworks around. The artists use acrylic paint in a variety of hues, large areas of colour and patterns weave their way over the canvas telling stories of the country in the most vibrant way possible. Artists such as Helicopter, Eubena Nampitjin, Bai Bai Napangarti, Millie Skeen and Boxer Milner and many more paint in vivid pinks, yellows, blue and greens.
Art from Fitzroy Crossing, on the Fitzroy River, is different again. Their paintings are also wild and seem, at times, quite undisciplined. Watercolour paints are used on paper and they generally depict trees, animals, plants and land forms in a very abstract manner. Big and bold they show a great joy for their painting and a love for the land and the animals that live there.
Some of the artist from this area are, Daisy Andrews, Peanut Ford, Paji Honeychild, Dolly Snell

Aboriginal Art - Worldwide attention
www.makingtracks.com.au
The Venice Biennele in the early 1990's caught the world by storm. Australia featured an artist, Rover Thomas, in its exhibition. The view then that was held that Aboriginal art was just tribal and of no interest to the art world. When people came to view the Australian exhibition they were literally "blown away" by Rover's works.
Works were painted in natural pigments depicting the land that Rover had grown up in and knew intimately. He had a way of painting in such a modern but minimal way that the art community of Europe and America that came to the exhibition to view these works wanted to know and see more and more.
This bought Aboriginal art to the world attention and art from the Kimberley, in particular, was really sought after.
tomorrow, more about art from the Kimberley
