Christmas Bauble - Betsy Lewis

Sustainable Ornament with Story and Soul

Bring together the beauty of sustainable design and rich cultural history with this 7.6cm paper mâché bauble. Handcrafted from recycled paper by artisans in Kashmir, this piece showcases the Warlpiri Dreaming of the Napangardi and Napanangka women, who, armed with Karlangu (digging sticks), traveled from Mina Mina across the land, creating new sites and gathering bush tucker. The detailed hand-painting reflects the motion of the digging sticks, encapsulating the story of these custodians. A truly eco-conscious decoration, this bauble is perfect for those who value heritage, art, and the environment.
