Kurrajong Seed Dreaming Kurrajong Seed Dreaming is the amern ngkweyang story of the seed from the aping desert kurrajong tree. There is an ancient Dreamtime story belonging to the ngkweyang (the aping seed) witch lies in the heart of Alyawarr land (Katie’s country) Antarrengeny north east of Alice Spring. Ngkweyang is an important and nutritious food source the Aboriginal people would collect these seeds, burn them to remove small hairs, and grind them into a paste for making damper (bread) this practice is not so habitual now. In Katie’s language
The green designs in the paintings are inspired by the leaf of the aping plant. The background designs represent Katie’s country Antarrengeny. Women Ceremony - Makeup Ceremony The linear designs in Katie’s painting represent women ceremony and the designs of body paint (awely). In our language Aboriginal women apply makeup. Aboriginal Women manufacturer their own natural cosmetic products. Their cosmetics are the colored products intended to alter women appearance are are decorative cosmetics. Widely advertised the natural Mineral Makeup (allegedly recently discovered) akin to Aboriginal women makeup has been used by Aboriginal women for over 6000 years. In Europe Cosmetics have been in use for thousands of years using ceruse (white lead), to cover the face during the Renaissance, (blindness caused by the mascara Lash Lure during the early 20th century). Romans and Ancient Egyptians used cosmetics containing poisonous mercury and often lead. However Aboriginal Women Cosmetics include only natural earth grounded Powders (red and yellow clays (ochre ), charcoal and Ash. Aboriginal Women apply their Cosmetics Makeup with a tool that is flat soft padding stick called (typale) like a Makeup brush. They paint their makeup designs on the faces and also, used the body paint, onto Women chest, breasts, arms as well as their thighs. Each woman can play a makeup Artist and takes her turn to be “painted-up”. During the Ceremony Aboriginal Women sing the songs associated with their (awely). Women perform (awely) ceremonies to feel good and to demonstrate respect for themselves, their country and the total well-being and health of the community as well as their own. Aboriginal Woman have been applying natural grounded earth powders makeup cosmetic for over 6000 years. However the first archaeological evidence of cosmetics usage was found in Egypt around 3500 BC during the Ancient Egypt times with some of royalty owning make-up, such as Nefertiti, Nefertari, mask of Tutankhamun. In Europe in the Middle Ages women like a pale-skinned complexion, which was achieved through either applying pastes of lead, chalk, or flour, or by bloodletting, also put white lead pigment that was known as ceruse (white lead) on their faces to appear to have pale skin. Cosmetic use was frowned upon at many points in Western history. For example, in the 19th century, make-up was used primarily by prostitutes, and Queen Victoria publicly declared makeup improper, vulgar, and acceptable only for use by actors. European Women in the 19th century liked to be thought of as fragile ladies. They compared themselves to delicate flowers and emphasized their delicacy and femininity. They aimed always to look pale and interesting. Sometimes ladies discreetly used a little rouge on the cheeks, and used "belladonna" to dilate their eyes to make their eyes stand out more. Make-up was frowned upon in general especially during the 1870s when social etiquette became more rigid. Actresses however were allowed to use make up and famous beauties such as Sarah Bernhardt and Lillie Langtry could be powdered. Most cosmetic products available in the world were still either chemically dubious, or found in the kitchen amid food colorings, berries and beetroot. By the middle of the 20th century, cosmetics were in widespread use by women in nearly all industrial societies around the world. |
