These First Nation dolls are hand-painted by Jade McDonald, a Wiradjuri artist living on the NSW Central Coast. Jade carefully sources ethical Aboriginal textiles to craft the doll clothes, ensuring each piece is made with respect and integrity.

Name: Mulbirrang [mu-l-bi-rra-ng]

Meaning: This beautiful First Nations doll has been named after one of Australia’s most beautiful birds – the Eastern Rosella.

Mulbirrang is the Wiradjuri word for the Eastern Rosella.

They are medium-sized colourful parrots with distinctive white cheek patches. It has a red head, neck and breast, with yellowish to greenish upper parts, a yellow underbody and a yellow green to blue-green rump, with a red undertail.

About the Creator, Jade McDonald

My name is Jade McDonald. I’m a proud Wiradjuri woman, a wife, and a mother to three amazing children: a daughter and identical twin boys. We live in the beautiful town of Long Jetty on the Central Coast of NSW.

I find joy in creating one-of-a-kind pieces in my sewing haven, where I draw inspiration from my surroundings and work with vibrant, beautiful colors. Each creation reflects my love for art and culture, blending tradition with contemporary flair.

Please note that the outfits the dolls are wearing may vary from those shown in the image, as each doll is uniquely crafted with different fabric selections.
