The story of Ngurrbul 'Love'
Beside the Marrambidya bila, where the earth meets the sky in a dance of colors, there lived two souls intertwined by destiny. Kaya, a young Indigenous artist with eyes as deep as the ocean and hands that painted stories of the land, and Jarrah, a spirited traveler with a heart as wild as the wind and a thirst for adventure.
Their paths crossed one fateful day at a bustling market, where Kaya's artwork adorned the stalls like whispers of ancient tales. Jarrah, drawn by the vibrant hues and intricate patterns, found himself captivated by a particular piece – the Ngurrbul board. Its colors spoke of the dawn sky, ablaze with hues of purple and blue, while its symbols whispered of unity and connection.
As Jarrah reached out to touch the artwork, his fingertips brushed against Kaya's, igniting a spark that neither could deny. Their eyes met, and in that moment, time stood still. Words became unnecessary as the language of the heart took over, weaving a story of love as timeless as the land itself.
From that day on, Kaya and Jarrah embarked on a journey together, guided by the symbols of the Ngurrbul board – the circles representing the eternal cycle of life, the lines symbolizing the interconnectedness of all living beings, and the colors reflecting the myriad emotions of their love.
Through valleys and mountains, deserts and forests, they roamed hand in hand, their love growing stronger with each passing day. Together, they painted their own story on the canvas of life, blending their dreams and aspirations into a masterpiece of love and unity.
And as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of purple and blue across the vast expanse of the outback, Kaya and Jarrah stood together, their hearts beating as one, knowing that their love was a testament to the beauty of connection and the power of love.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-painted serving board, please follow these care instructions:
1. **Hand Wash Only:** Gently hand wash your wooden board with a mild dish soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or placing it in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the paint and wood finish.
2. **Pat Dry Immediately:** After washing, pat the board dry with a soft, clean cloth or paper towel. Avoid air-drying or prolonged exposure to moisture, as this can lead to warping and compromise the paint and wood quality.
3. **Avoid Soaking:** Never soak the hand-painted wooden board in water or leave it submerged, as extended exposure to moisture may cause the wood to swell and affect the integrity of the paint.
4. **Store Properly:** Store the board in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the board to prevent warping or bending.
5. **Use Caution with Sharp Objects:** While the board is crafted with durability in mind, exercise caution when using sharp knives or utensils. Avoid cutting directly on the painted surface to prevent scratches or damage to the artwork.
6. **Reapply Food-Safe Finish:** Over time, if you notice the board becoming dull or dry, you can reapply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to restore its luster and protect the wood.
7. **Handle with Care:** Treat your hand-painted wooden board with care to preserve its unique design. Avoid dropping or banging it against hard surfaces, and handle it gently during use and cleaning.
By following these care instructions, you'll ensure that your hand-painted serving board remains a stunning and functional piece for years to come.
