In this Dreaming story, two dog ancestors, a Jampijinpa and a Napangardi, travelled from the west to the east. At Tapu (a rockhole), the two dogs separated. The female dog, Napangardi, went to the south.
The male dog, Jampijinpa, went to the north. Eventually he became lonely and howled for Napangardi in the south. She came running to him, and they married each other at Ngarnka. They wore mens and womens marriage headdresses, and Jampijinpa painted himself with white clay for the ceremony. The two dogs continued running east, before arriving in Warlaku (Ali Curung).
Many other dogs were living in Warlaku when they arrived. There were many families of dogs, mothers and fathers and children and uncles all living together. Jampijinpa and Napangardi made a burrow to rest in and started a big family of dogs there. They chose to stay in Warlaku and live with all the other dogs. In this way, the malikijarra Jukurrpa (two dogs Dreaming) tells the story of proper conduct in families and marriages.

Customer Reviews
Love my new cushions. They look stunning on my couch. Beautifully made to complement the designs.
This cushion is stunning. The colours are vivid, the weaving and general quality......superb!
Beautifully woven- the artwork is simply stunning. It’s a special piece of art and it lifts my entire lounge room. I love it!
I am ordering a second cushion, different design this time. I was so pleased with the first one - such a lovely design, bright (but not dazzling) colours and beautiful stitching- and it looks even better in real life than in the on-line picture. I would like to buy one of each design but can only manage one at a time.
Loved these cushions so much I got a third one! Great service thank you
