Profile Information

Hometown:
Small village of Egerton, Kent UK.
About Me:
I qualified as a textile artist with a BA Hons in textiles from Goldsmith London back in 1992 Since then I have been teaching art in schools. I am now at home because of ill health but it is giving me more time to work on my art work. I make hand made wet and dry felt. I hand and machine embroider I also spin my own yarns and I am experienced in crochet and knitting as well as a little needlpoint lace. In actual fact I dabble in all sorts of other crafts too. My art is my life without it I wouldn't be who I am. Well that's enough about me.

Textile Challenge Site has moved to a blog come take a look.

Hi everyone,
I have been running a challenge site for some time now but I began to realise how unfriendly the Yahoo site was for us artists. It just doesn't present our work well and so I decided to move it to a blog. It is now to be found at : http://triciastextileforum.blogspot.com/ We are taking new members so if you are interested do pop along and all you have to do is email me for an invitation to join us. Please email me at Artytricks@aol.com

New Textile Challenge Site

Hi there all, well, you might already be aware that I have started a new challenge site, it is called Tricia's Textile Challenge. We have 15 members to date and we're doing fine, there are some very talented people already on this site so it's quite exciting, go take a look and if you'd like to join let us know.


Well, I said I would blog about the piece I made for the first challenge. I can't seem to add a photo here so I will put the pictures in the general photo album.


The first challenge… Continue

Hi. It's been awhile since I've been on your textile challenge (apresskigirl on yahoo). I just put a question on there about using procion h dyes and batik. I am concerned about my methods of working with it, so hopefully someone can help.

Hi Tricia,

Thanks for your concern about the wildfire situation. I'm going back up there today and hoping for no smoke, though I hear there are still lots of smoldering logs, etc. a couple of miles away.

I see you also make fiber art - really excellent felt work - and you are also a spinner! I don't know about this 'interior design' group. Since the group specified items for the home, garden, etc., I figured that excluded me, since I only do wearables. However, since you also make wall hangings, you should qualify.

Tricia I have just had a look at your blog and love your writings on motivation and what and how your creativity flows. I find it all very inspiring. I was happy creating until earlier this year when I sold a blanket for $900.00 through a local gallery. Then I began to work at more and more with conviction to try and sell another one. I am not sure why, but now I am getting back to just creating again and my work is getting better. We rolled a large felt today that I am extremely pleased with. It took me four weeks to lay out due to my back, and a lot of thought went into it. It is going into the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show next weekend. I had entered four peices of felt into this show and had to finish this one today with help to ensure I have all my entries ready. Never entered a show before, but am pretty excited about getting my art out there.

I was sad to hear about your car accident, and glad to hear that you were not hurt. Hope your hubby recovers very swiftly.

It is raining today and I am layed up again. But I love the rain and the bush is starting to show signs of wildflowers to come in spring. Even better the chooks have started laying again. And the cauliflower and brocolli in the garden are looking spectacular. Not as colourful as your cabbages though. Anyway keep in touch and keep creating. Teresa

Hi Tricia, just put up some of my new work. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement the other week, photography is great and so inspiring. I go to see the back specialist next week so things should be looking up. Meantime I have inlisted my husband to help me roll all my we felt on weekends. Great to have a helping hand. He is so nice he volunteered. Keep me informed in what you are up too. cheers Teresa
