My March Rabbit image is a very special lady
Naturally dyed silk, lots of antique lace and hand stitching.
She is one of my pieces made for an international exhibition called Textnet2.
I am delighted to be part of this amazing project which is a collaboration of 21 international textile artists.
We are artists from Europe, United States, Canada and Australia and have interacted, discussed, planned and
inspired each other via a facebook group since 2018 under the guidance of Juliette Eckel.
The result of our project Texnet2, a collection of 377 textiles works.
It was a joy to work on this exhibition .
It was so wonderful to get to know fellow textile artists . . . who I have never actually met !
The pandemic canceled our chance to exhibit in EPM (Carrefour Européen du Patchwork) in September 2020, perhaps it will be kinder in 2021.



‘Say Rabbit for Luck’ It’s the first of the month.

The first few months were very exciting and new. So many interesting and so different works were created. It was a wonderful experience to know that all around the world you have been working for the project. Again and again I could see how surprised and touched we all were to discover the work that was shown. To understand what our origins and our artistic background make up for our work was always moving. At the end it was a very spec

I was very happy to be invited by Juliette Eckel in 2018 and become a member of international textile group “Texnet 2”. We are 21 artists from Europe, United States, Canada and Australia. The result of our project is a collection of 377 textile works on the theme of a “Textile Calendar”. The first two small quilts seen here will be part of the group exhibition which will be show at the next European Patchwork Meeting from September 16th to September 19th. Further I will share 2 pictures of my other textile works. https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=andrea%20glittenberg-pollier
