Wild Women Textile Arts Group

At the December Christmas get together I invited everyone to choose one of my silk paper/mosaic jewellery experimental pieces and use it in a textile creation of their choice. Hilary selected a pendant made with silk paper scraps and covered with a clear glass cabachon. She used it as the central motif in this magnificent journal cover. Here is what she had to say about it: I used the pendant as the centre of Australia and then surrounded it with some images of what represents Australia to me. The finished item is a journal cover which I am using for a sketch a day. What a beautiful and inspirational interpretation. Well done Hilary!

Hilary took these fabulous photos at the Paint a Postcard community workshop on Saturday. So much fun!  Well done Helen, Carolyn & Hilary.

11th Avenue Creative was abuzz today - first of all with a fantastic turn out to Helen & Carolyn’s Paint a postcard community workshop. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves, and to feel the energy in the room. Then it was Lilyan’s turn to guide us through a range of shibori techniques in preparation for our indigo dyeing workshop at Kirra Hill next month. Lilyan and Margret brought in lots of samples to inspire us ... ... and soon we were stitching, folding, pleating, clamping, and wrapping away! What a wonderful way to spend the day!
