Stingrays by Catherine Budamurra

My design is the stingray and the spear. The spear is for hunting the stingray.

We go hunting in the marsh at my homeland - Marra Garra - for stingray. We love going fishing. The kids like to make a spear, and then catch stingray, crab, fish. Stingray tastes good - like tuna. We like to eat it in the fire. We separate the fat and the liver; separate the meat; and then cook the liver and the meat up with the fat. There’s a few different stingray - we eat the big brown one. We don't eat the ones with brown dots. Kids and people in Kalumburu love eating stingray, and fish and crab. The boys and the older men still make spears.

My daughter loves her fishing. She won a fishing competition, she got the first prize, a voucher.

I have never done designs for fabric before - I think my artwork will be good on clothes.
