After the exhibition

Finally, a chance to post pictures of my recent exhibition.

Well, here are all the members of extraTexture - from left - Margaret Millar, Kay Murray, Cindy Cooper, Margaret McLennan, Kerry Shelberg and Jane Bodnaruk (moi).

This is our group piece - "FOCUS". We started with the serpentine like line on a big piece of paper (120cm x 100cm), cut it into 6 pieces. The major stipulations were to work in mainly black, and to feature the line in metallic. The textures and creativity are amazing.

FOCUS on fabric

Here is the article from the North Shore Times in Sydney last week. My Retro Rugs are famous (as is Jasper in the background). We were doing set up for the exhibition yesterday and 1 lady came in to ask if  "this is the exhibition with the colourful rugs". Unfortunately we weren't open, but it does show the value of the reporting in the local paper.

extraTexture Textile Art exhibition

Here is the Balmain Watch House 2 years ago when we had our first exhibition. Doesn’t it look lovely on a sunny day? Well, dont let the current rain put you off. It is looking fantastic inside for the opening of the extraTexture textile art exhibition tonight, and for our first weekend. We have heaters to take that cool, damp edge off the atmosphere, and a new lighting system really adds a shine to it all .Thank you Balmain Watch House Assoc and lighting designer Pete McLean (who will be at our opening tonight with his lovely wife – and my long time stitching buddy – Barb McLean). Dont forget we are on show for 2 weekends – the 29th & 30th and the 6th & 7th July, as well as next Thursday and Friday 4th and 5th.

"Retro Rugs"

I will be selling my very own Retro Rugs - these are not your average ordinary rug rugs, they have a few innovations to make them very desirable and practical.

Here is Caprica on her favourite one

Did you pick that this is a BRIGHT one, crotcheted with Flannel fabrics
