I’m back
Well just quickly just to update you, I will be starting some texture blogs in two weeks , I will do a series of 8 small projects just to enjoy texture, interesting materials and techniques. I am sorry I have been away for so long, life has filled every spare moment. Below is a pictorial story of the making of a lampshade , a fun art piece I made this week. My son and I are joining on some collaborative work he believes in up cycling, repurposing beautiful old furniture and treasures enjoying the workmanship and design of what has been . There are also some images of the upholstery fabric that I have stitched for our collaborative furniture . We are looking forward in sharing these art pieces very soon.
The glass bottle is not the base for the lampshade , the lampshade will become a floor lamp with a very interesting repurposed base looking forward to sharing with you .

A wonderful whole experience in Bali “Walking on Sunshine ”
Once in a while an amazing opportunity comes along where creativity, spirituality, passion for art and a desire to learn all come together in one special tour, and this is the one!
You are invited to join Australian master artist Michelle Mischkulnig and Jim West on a once in a lifetime trip in Bali this October as we present: “WALKING ON SUNSHINE- a creative journey of art, textiles, batiks and wellness!”
This 10-day experience is life-changing in many ways, from the specially designed textile workshops and exciting hands-on batik classes, to the spiritual wellness you will encounter as you immerse yourself in the Balinese way of life.
Space is limited to 20 people with only 10 participants in each workshop at one time. Michelle’s passion and skill level as a textile genius will give each participant an opportunity to expand their creative soul and dance in a safe and enlightened space of abandoned joy, and Jim West shares his enthusiastic approach to life, business and his spiritual journey.

Thanks Erica they will be starting in a couple of days .
I am so looking forward to your 8 texture blogs Michelle. I can no longer afford to do needlework classes so your generosity is such a blessing.
