Leading weaver on Elcho Island Patricia Wanambi, born 1974 and raised in pure yojlnu ways of arts and crafts. A very traditional upbringing Patricia travels the islands for all the materials and dyes used to create her baskets and jewellery.
All the pieces are individual and have taken many hours during the whole process.
Patricia would love to see her crafts placed in good hands.
