these kits are perfect for cultural gifts for as well as being a good cultural and interactive resource for schools, hospitals, rehabilitation programs, educators, support workers, and those who want to take their time in creating without the added cost of a facilitator being on site.
Each kit includes everything that is needed to make a full size Marngrook (possum skin ball)
Each kit contains :
• Information on Marngrook, where it came from, it’s cultural significance and how the game was originally played.
• printed instruction sheet & a link to a video tutorial where I will walk you through making the Marngrook start to finish.
Due to mens and Women’s business it’s up to you whether you choose to use my tutorial or teach yourself in order to teach the skill to others, please note that my instructions and info sheets are protected under intellectual property and aren’t to be replicated or copied (terms and conditions do apply regarding ongoing use of this tutorial for further details please email info@waxtreasuresfeathers.com.au
• printed visual instructions on how to do the blanket / weavers stitch and tips on hole close the holes should be to the edge of the possum pelt and to each other (even though I do explain this in the tutorial I have tried to cover all types of learning styles)
• a pattern to trace and cut out in order to get the Marngrook shape (also include an option to make it as an AFL ball shape for those who wish to be a little different)
• possum fur
• sinew or imitation sinew depending on availability
• needles
• material to stuff the ball.
