This cushion was designed by Ruby Williamson of Tjala Arts in the Anangu/Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara lands in central Australia and chain-stitched by skilled Kashmiri artisans with the highest quality Kashmiri wool.

Ruby has depicted a ‘Husband and Wife' story. Wati translates as man, minyma as woman and walka as design or drawing. This story is about a family camping and hunting for their favourite bush tucker. The men are the larger 'u' shapes with a kali (boomerang) and spear at their side. The women can be seen with their children or tjitji camped under a wiltja or shelter around a camp fire. The orange areas are the camp fires. The larger circles down the middle are the rock holes where water can be found, while the blue and green stripped areas are the creeks.

These texturally exquisite cushion covers are created through Better World Arts Cross Cultural Projects and chain-stitched by skilled Kashmiri artisans with the highest quality Kashmiri wool. The Cross Cultural Projects give substantial benefits to all the participants in the production process. The results truly have to be seen and touched to be believed.
