These handmade pandanus earrings are unique, each pair feature different patterns, sizes or colours.
Pandanus fibre art is labour intensive requiring a high level of care and fine needlework. Finished works are both functional and beautiful. Women collect pandanus by pulling from the top of a pandanus tree, stripping then dying the leaves using natural bush colour.

Billabong Tukka
This piece depicts traditional billabong bush tukka including two water goannas, multiple lily roots and two long neck turtles. Raark (fine line work) is completed using a traditional handmade jarlk brush. Two different raark styles are used; Yirritja and Dhuwa. Yirritja raark consists of multiple lines before alternating colour, and can be found on the lily roots. Dhuwa raark is single line, and can be found on all the animals.
Mimi Dancing
This piece depicts four Mimi spirits dancing. Also included are some bush tools such as two spears, a mako or didjeridu, clap sticks and a dilly bag.
Dilly Bags
This piece is a step away from Brett’s usual stories of billabong fish and tasty tucker. It depicts traditional bush tools. You can see two dilly bags on the right, and a traditional fish trap on the left. Brett has used both the Yirritja (multiple lines of each colour) and Dhuwa (single line) rarrk throughout this piece. The fish trap has a combination of both types of rarrk.
Long Neck Turtle
In this image you can see a long neck turtle, a file snake, and a barramundi. All are good tukka. This painting features predominantly Yirritja rarrk (multiple lines of each colour), which can be found on the turtle and barramundi. Dhuwa rarrk (single line) is seen on the tail tip of the file snake. Stippling effect can also be found on the remainder of the file snake body.

Billabong Birds
Billabongs come to life during the wet season. This piece depicts multiple bird species; three magpie geese flying, and three in the bottom left corner. Two jabiru with black heads are on the right. Three brolgas are on the left with their grey heads. Two jacana walk across the water and lily pads. Interspersed among this are lily pads and their flowers in bulb. Most birds are in Yirritja style raark (multiple lines of each colour), however the jacana birds feature Dhuwa style raark (single line).
Bats & Python
Bats are prevalent in Beswick. They do leave during mango season, however for the most part they linger and feed on the flowers depicted in this painting. The older generation used to eat the bats, but in modern times they are left alone from human interference. Olive pythons do not leave them alone – they are a common sight, creeping up to feast on the unsuspecting bat population.
Barramundi, Freshwater Crocodile & Saratoga
This is a classic piece by Norman, depicting from top to bottom; a Barramundi complete with red eye, a Freshwater Crocodile, and a Saratoga. Rarrk fine-line work is in the Yirritja style, and painted using a handmade jarlk brush. Background is in a spatter effect, visually simulating a starry night sky. This background is a new technique Norman is experimenting with, while the freshwater animals are old-school, classic Norman.

Seed Hoop Earrings
Girring Girring is hand made jewellery using local seeds. These earrings feature seeds from the local Crotalaria novae-hollandiae, hand-threaded on to stainless steel hoops (40-50mm diameter).
Small seeds, harvested from a slightly larger pod, age and transition from green to yellow, orange, red and sometimes even a dark red, almost black, colour. Once pierced and made into jewellery, the colour does not change. Because of this beautiful patterns can be made and each piece is unique.
How do I get these into my ears?
Our artists pack these hoops completely full with seeds, because they shrink as they dry.
After you purchase your desired pair, start at the hooked end and gently twist and push the seeds up the wire until you achieve your desired spacing. As the seeds move along, space will free up on the other end to fit on your ear.
Still need more space? Pinch a few seeds with your fingernails to remove them.
