Embroidery using ' Kashida' technique.
The Handicraft - Kashida
Developed over generations, Kashida is one of the oldest Kashmiri handicrafts. It is applied to the leather by hand with the help of a small “aari”, a hand tool similar to a crochet hook. Originally used to decorate clothing and the famous Kashmiri shawls,. It is practiced by both men and women. Kashmir produces Kashida of the highest quality. It is a historically important export for Kashmir.
CROSS CULTURAL PROJECT
Designed in Australia by royalty-paid Aboriginal Artists and made in Jodphur India.
Why India?
Australian Aboriginal people come from a culture rich in story telling, art and artefact making, but not mass manufacturing. Kashmiris and many other cultures, have manufactured handicrafts as a core cultural and economic activity for generations. We have brought these two cultural strengths together, bringing business, economy and partnership to remote and distant communities. Aboriginal artists receive regular royalties and artisans receive payment for the handicrafts they make.

Story
Kuntjanu is near Pipalyatjara in the far north west corner of the APY Lands. It is here, in Kuntjanu, that the Wanampi lives. Wanampi is the big rainbow serpent who sleeps under the ground in the tjukula (rockhole).Kuntjanu is home to the Wanampi Tjukurpa – Rainbow Serpent Dreaming. This is an important Tjukurpa story, where the snakes represent men. Rama says there is one Wanampi tjilpi - old rainbow serpent man – his name is Kuntjanu. His wife is ititjara (pregnant) and is hiding under the water. There are other people there, kuniya, mingkiri, and liru. The Kuniya is a big python with a black back and yellow front. Mingkiri are the mouse people, and liru are the snake people. Liru wati pika wakanu Wanampi, Wanampi pakanu ngarangu, the snake men were angry and speared Wanampi, he rose out of the waterhole and was speared by a left handed man. Wanampi’s son was born there and he still sleeps in the rockhole at Kuntjanu.Rama's painting illustrates the Mingkiri Tjukurpa - Marsupial Mouse Dreaming. In this painting there are many mouseholes. When Rama talks about the Wanampi Dreaming at Kuntjanu, he says the stories are all together – ‘tjungu’. The Mingkiri people cry when Wanampi (rainbow serpent) is speared. The mingkiri are digging and burrowing with their mulya (noses) and blocking their holes up.
