Here is one of my pieces for the exhibition with was inspired by the Boro Japanese style of stitching and I have incorporated hand painted fabric, wood from the Moringa and Cotton tree, which makes use of plants that I grow in my garden.

It was great to meet up with the other artists who had work on display and family and friends who had come to the opening to appreciate the work
Two of the 6 pieces in the Celebrating Textiles Exhibition
The other piece that I have on display is one that has elements of fabric slashing and incorporates beads, wood and painted fabric, it was great to be able to use all the materials and elements I like using in my work.
