Handmade earth pigments inspired by the caretakers of Country.
This painting pad honours the animals of Aboriginal creation stories—the sacred beings who shape land, carry knowledge, and continue to care for Country. These creatures are not just part of the landscape—they are family, teachers, and memory holders.
Through each page, you're invited to go into their world—to paint with reverence, and connect with the story each animal holds.
