Designed by Nyuwara Tapaya, one of the younger artists interested in representational motifs, and experienced in designing repeat patterns. Printed by Marie Warren. Designs include local bush food: kampurarpa (bush tomato - big yellow fruit), wayanu (quandong - big red fruit), ili (wild-fig - red and yellow small fruit), ilykuwara (witchetty bush - small flower with leaves). Ernabella was one of the first mission settlements to set up crafts workshops (Refer Winifred Hilliard's book, The People In Between), and from the 1940s crafts were taught to provide employment for people who had previously been nomadic. Weaving was one of the first crafts taught and batik was introduced in 1971. The abstract designs of the Pitjantjatjara people rarely have explicit meanings although it is thought they do relate to body and ground painting, and plant life. Screenprinting was introduced in about 1988. Ollie Henstridge (ex-Sydney screenprinter) came to teach skills in design and printing. Since she left, two women did most of the printing; now Marie Warren comes to do it by herself. Many of the artists adapted their drawing and batik ideas readily to screenprinting designs, and some have been especially influenced by recent printmaking (eg. etching and lithography) workshops. Core working group of about 13 women who come into the workshop.

Printed by Marie Warren (b.1968) in 1995. Marie Warren was one of three artists trained by Ollie Henstridge (ex-Sydney screenprinter) in about 1988/90, and is the one remaining near Ernabella. Screenprinting process taught to Marie Warren, Nyuwara Tapaya (designer for this fabric). Marie and Vera not now living at Ernabella; Marie Warren (Arababa language group) comes back to print. Ollie worked there in about 1988 (now at Bundeena 5237084). Invited by Ernabella; organised the setup of the table. Kerry Martin was there as co-ordinator when it was installed (painter from Adelaide). Marie currently prints all the textiles. Only batiks are signed; if the artist dies the works can be put away for a while. It is more difficult to withdraw a screenprint so these are not identified by name. Sometimes on the selvedge is Pukatja prints (name of Ernabella community). Ernabella is the place; Pukatja is the community. Currently negotiating, as part of a business plan, to increase production through going to a commercial company that would still print by hand, but in a larger printrun. This will mean less colour combinations. The fabrics may then be manufactured in a range of products.Thus, these handprinted fabrics, printed at Ernabella, may be among the last to be made in this way. The existing designs will have to be shrunk by 10%.

Designed in 1989-90, and printed in 1995.
