 I wanted to share with you today about my wonderful experience of being part of an amazing international group of creative people. I am a member of Texnet 2 an international group of textile artists from Europe, Australia and America.I have loved learning from this group about their countries, their colours, their techniques and their passion. I am excited to be exhibiting our fabulous project EPM France, @ European Patchwork &Textile Tour Alasace France in September.

Our project is based on a 12 month calendar where we chose dates and our own theme. I wanted to tell the story of our Seasons and how I interpret them here in Australia knowing that my themes and colours for each month would contrast with the Northern hemisphere. I have used hand dyed silks and fibres building up layers of textures and capturing the images with free motion stitch.The images of my art work are from different seasons here in Australia.

I hope you enjoy

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 am delighted to introduce a tiny part of the Textnet2 project, initiated by Juliette Eckel. We are an international group (Europe, North-America and Australia) of textile artists who have collaborated for two years while living apart and working alone. Many of us have never met each other in person. Our project is based on a 12 months calendar. We are excited to announce that the international Carrefour European Du Patchwork en Alsace takes place in September this year and the Nadelwelt Karlsruhe in May 2022.

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. There textile art pieces were first sown on line.
