 I was very happy to be invited by Juliette Eckel, to be part of the international textile group TEXNET 2,( now a few years ago). Textile artists from all over the world working together on the same project. Only having contact through internet: a new challenge...it turned out to be a wonderfull experience !

I will share 2 works I made for the project: I used a "person" to travel through the months, enjoying the seasons.
-JANUARI : although it is cold outside, love and friendship keeps on flowing and keeps us warm.
-APRIL : The grass is growing
Further I will share 2 pictures of other textile works I made: -A WARM HEART : whatever happens, warm feelings keep us going
-A TEXTILE INSTALLATION : old clothing was used to knit a new scarf, also to keep a person warm. The hands can be from anyone..we all can re-use materials.

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

After been selected twice for “Art Quilt Award” organized by Juliette Eckel in Germany – I joined her projects Texnet 1 and 2. We have members from all over the world.

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.
