Candid Raffia: Woven Earrings Lime

New in 22! Woven earrings made by Candid Raffia, a start up enterprise by Kyla Hedanek. 

These handmade woven earrings, and her collection of decorative wall pieces, baskets and keyrings were made with raffia, sourced from Oxlades Art Supplies, Raffia Connection and even self-dyed. All gifts are made with kindness on Anangu country.

Kyla is a Mandingalbay Yidinji & Gimuy Wallaburra Yidinji woman from Yarrabah and Cairns, Far North Queensland. As an emerging artist she was a part of the Yarrabah Arts & Cultural Precinct team which is where a love for art and creating kicked off. Over the years Kyla was fortunate enough to observe & learn the art of weaving raffia and pandanus (Yukal) from an artists in residence and that is what encouraged the start of her own weaving enterprise. Whilst studying and working fulltime Kyla started weaving in my spare time as a hobby, launching her business Candid Raffia in December 2021. 
Kyla is a Guest Service Agent and studying at the Ayers Rock Resort, by investing in Candid Raffia as a 100% Indigenous owned business, you are supporting her career pathways.
