Description
Aboriginal Art is a cross stitch pattern.
Both the Barramundi and Long-necked Tortoise are based on traditional Aboriginal paintings from the Kakadu area of North-Western Australia. While the style is authentic, the colouring used is Graeme's own but similar in style to that which would have been used.
A similar Long-necked Tortoise rock painting from this area has been carbon dated to 7,000 years old.
