Bush stone curlew
The bush stone curlew is oddly charming and quite kooky but some people find them creepy. Walking around like clunky marionettes, they freeze in odd poses, staring intently, somehow sure that stillness infers invisibility. Maybe they think this extends to their eggs, which they lay on open ground. Known by some as ‘ghost birds’, these nocturnal weirdos scream at night and group together so rarely that when they do, the group is referred to as an ‘apparition’.
This design was adapted from a series of original lino carvings.

About our cushion covers
- This listing is for the cushion cover, not the whole cushion. They work best for 45-50cm cushion inserts, depending on how plump you like your cushions.
- Our cushion fabrics are designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River and printed in Australia. Boo uses a variety of techniques to design the fabrics including painting, drawing, lino prints and digital photography and drawing.
- Boo makes all the cushions in her studio and is registered with the Australian Made campaign.
- Cushions listed on this page are made from polyester upholstery fabric, making them super durable in most environments and very easy to wash.
- They come in a range of great designs with vibrant colours to match any decor.
- All cushions are double-sided. Some cushions have a variation of print (usually scale) on the other side - unless two different images are shown in the display above, both sides of the cushion will be identical.
- If something you want is out of stock, be sure to click the Notify Me button and we'll let you know as soon as we have them to hand again!

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our cushion covers is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
