Tress Button Up: Volcanic Scrub Vine (Balara)
Fabric story: "Balara" Volcanic Scrub Vine
Our ancient volcanos are found on country in 'Savannah Woodland' terrain.
Over the years, the ceilings of the tubes have collapsed in many places, allowing vegetation to flourish on the inside.
Ribbons of green vine-thicket flourish contrasting with the Savannah landscape. These vines are considered distinctive and an ancient remnant from the Gondwana species. When some 300 million years ago we were part of the huge continent known as Gondwanaland.
This vine is believed to be a rare, isolated pocket of this relict—ancient flora that has escaped the ravages of fire, drought and climate change.
All pieces are crafted and developed locally in Cairns by Cindy Hudson head seamstress (Jedess’ Mother). This allows Cindy and Jedess to ensure that each piece has high-quality workmanship.
