AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL ARTIST:  Geraldine Riley

THE DESIGN: 

Geraldine Riley has a very distinctive skill to represent nature and the Milky Way. Small and tiny dots represent the Milky Way and the neat dots of circles and lines are representative of her style of artwork. 

Geraldine's composition shows two Milky Way mines on both sides of the main circular mine. Dots in the centre represent mining and the legendary first astronomer mining the two Milky Ways. The story told by many generations is...'A long time ago, before the Milky Way was created there was an astronomer who built the milky way. He started to create this by mining milky ways in the galaxy'.

Aboriginal people of Australia have inhabited the land for no less than 60,000 years.  They have created and manage a sustainable culture.  'Dreamtime' is the aboriginal understanding of the World, of its creation and of its creation stories. 

DISCLAIMER: One of the drawbacks of buying fabric online is that in spite of every effort made by the Seller to provide a photo that represents the true colour of the item, it is impossible to do so, as the colour appears differently on every computer screen. Therefore the item you receive may be a slightly different shade to what appears on your computer screen.

SHIPPING: No online postage calculator is sophisticated enough to accurately compute postage based on both fabric value and weight. You are always welcome to ask us for a postage quote for multiple purchases. Should our automated postage calculator charge you more than 'actual' postage and you have already paid, we will immediately refund the overage.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING delivery times vary depending on the destination, Customs, and local postal service. Orders usually arrive in 10 -21 days although this can extend to 30+ days for Canadian deliveries. Peak period delivery times can delay delivery, especially in the lead up to Christmas.

CUSTOMS DUTY: If you are buying from outside of Australia, it is possible that you may be charged Customs Duty or other charges before your order will be released to you. We are in no way accountable for customs duty, handling fees or taxes that a Buyer may be required to pay upon delivery. We recommend that Buyers check with the appropriate authority in their country before they buy.

RETURNS/EXCHANGES: Whilst every effort is made to accurately process your order, mistakes can occasionally be made.

Exchanges or refunds are at the sole discretion of the Seller. (“I’ve changed my mind” is not an acceptable reason to return an item.) If you are unhappy with your purchase, please contact the Seller within 7 days of delivery for pre-approval before returning a purchase for exchange or refund. Unless the Seller has made a mistake and sent the wrong item(s) or the item differs significantly from the item description, the Buyer must pay for return postage.
