‘I listen and hear those words a hundred years away
That is my Grandmother’s Mother’s Country
it seeps down through blood and memory and soaks
into the ground’

Judy Watson

Established in 1985, Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation is a not-for-profit organisation that is 100% Aboriginal-owned by its artists from the remote desert communities of Yuendumu and Nyirripi in Central Australia.  

Made in Australia, this cute-as 100% cotton pet bandana features the incredible artwork by Judy Watson reproduced under license from Warlukurlangu Artists in the Northern Territory. 

Worn on the collar rather than the neck it is one size fits most canines and felines in size. Simply slip the collar all the way through the bandana opening. The bandana is now attached to the collar so you don't have to worry about it untying. 

Artwork/placement varies between bandana so each design is unique and may varies from image shown.

More about the artist:

It was this design that I saw hanging from a small gift store in the Northern New South Wales town of Brunswick Heads. It appealed to me so much and led me to Alperstein Designs and their collaboration with indigenous artists, something I had been searching for. Judy's work is eye-catching, the colours and shapes mesmerising, 

Judy Watson has described her experiences of travelling to her great-grandmother’s country in north-west Queensland, as ‘learning from the ground up’. It is a philosophy she has transplanted on her several journeys and residencies abroad. A distinguished artist, Judy represented Australia at the 1997 Venice Biennale,

Watson’s matrilineal link to the country of her ancestors has always been central to her printmaking and painting. The hidden histories of Indigenous experience on the colonial frontier – particularly those of women – continue to inspire her. Watson seeks the indelible impressions of past presence on the landscape – rubbings, engravings and incisions – and subtly inscribes them upon her work. 

Through her art, Watson repatriates the human artefacts and objects of collected cultures in museum storehouses, and reveals the ‘skeletons’ in colonial ‘closets’:

This magnificent artist interview by the Tate Gallery gives us an insight into Judy's work and inspiration. Along with her pieces, Judy's journey into understanding her grandmother's and great grandmother's stories,  also helps us to confront Aboriginal history in this country. Watch out for Judy's mum Joyce. She's a national treasure!

If your pet wears a collar then they can wear one of these 100% Cotton Pet Bandanas. Made in Australia, pet bandanas feature incredible artwork of Betty Pula Morton reproduced under license from Artists of Ampilatwatja (pronounced um-bludder-witch)  in the Northern Territory. These pet bandanas are worn on the collar rather than the neck so one size fits most!  

Betty has been painting with Artists of Ampilatwatja since 2013. She draws her inspiration from the country where she goes hunting or looking for bush yams and bush bananas, “sometimes I just like to go out there to see country”.

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999 near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The work produced by the artists is recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities, due to the application of fine dots and the often bright, figurative depiction of the land. 

Instructions:
Slip the collar all the way through the bandana opening. The bandana is now attached to the collar so you don't have to worry about it untying. 

Artwork/placement varies between bandana so each one is a little bit different and may vary from image shown.

An estimated $400 million was spent on 10 million unwanted gifts last Christmas in Australia, many of which were discarded and likely ended up in landfill.

Gift cards endure as a great solution. When you know your friend or family member loves nature, the garden, craft, and the outdoors, FORA can help you alleviate that "did I get the right present" anxiety and quell that Gift Card buying guilt. Because let's face it, we all know a fuss POT or two.

Sustainability aside, some of us are just are not that organised so a Fora Gift Card will make a handy last-minute digital gift.

Take a Load Off

Nothing Short of a miracle

This handy 250 ml tube is a perfect introduction to the magic that is La Corvette Marseille’s range of olive oil-based black soap. It’s an excellent multipurpose cleaner, degreaser and stain remover with applications around the house.

Use it straight from the tube as a stain remover for laundry. Dilute it to wash dishes or clean greasy surfaces like ovens and range hoods. In fact, it can clean just about anything from pots to pets, so it easily replaces a dozen specific cleaning products and eliminate the packaging that comes with them.

La Corvette’s black soap is made the old-fashioned way, cooked in a cauldron in the company’s French workshop. A combination of olive oil, linseed oil and pomace oil (sourced from the remains of crushed grapes) give it superior stain-busting properties while making it environmentally sensitive.

FAQs

Here are a few frequently asked questions about black soap:

How do you use black soap paste in the garden?

Black soap is used in France as a natural insectide. To protect plants and roses against aphids, whiteflies and mealybugs, thoroughly mix about 1 tablespoon of black soap paste with 1 litre of water and spray the mixture on the plants, not forgetting under leaves, Repeat after two days.

Doing this at cooler times of the day avoids any risk of leaves getting burnt by the hot midday sun.

Can I use it for household cleaning?

Of course! It’s a very fuss-free, versatile cleanser, so therefore economical. No more nasty chemicals and no fainting spells from strong chemicals.

For flooring, surfaces, wood, ovens, copper, silver: Dilute about 1 tablespoon in 3 litres of hot water. No rinsing required.

For extra-deep cleaning: Dilute about 3 tablespoons in 3 litres of hot water. No rinsing required,

For maintaining silverware or DIY and garden tools: In your laundry, kitchen, garden sink or bucket, dilute about 3-4 tablespoons in 3 litres of hot water. Soak items for 5 minutes. Dry with a soft cloth.

For fabric stain removal:  Place a hazelnut-sized portion of paste on your fabric, rub lightly and leave for a few minutes. Launder the item in your washing machine as usual.

As black soap is very concentrated, for light coloured fabrics (such as white linens and cotton) we recommend testing it on a small, inconspicuous area prior to use.

For standard machine washing: Add 3 tablespoons of black soap paste for every 5 kilos of laundry. Add 100ml of white vinegar as a natural softener. Add natural essential oils for fragrance, if you like.

Can I use black soap paste on my pet?

Yes. Start by rinsing your pet’s coat and massage in 1 tablespoon of black soap paste. Rinse and wipe dry.

Is black soap paste safe?

Goin' Green

"Reptiles and amphibians are sometimes thought of as primitive, dull and dimwitted. In fact, of course, they can be lethally fast, spectacularly beautiful, surprisingly affectionate and very sophisticated."

-Sir David Attenborough
