25.01.2022 I am chuffed that a range of my transformed/ ecodyed clothing is back in the beautiful business Cocoon in Penguin. It is great to see them showcased in those great surroundings amongst art and fabulous home wares All clothing is made of natural fibres, most of them made using clothing others discarded and turned into unique street clothes. #sewingathome#oldfashiontransformed#woolsilkcottonlinen#remaking#usingwhatihave#lovewhatido#recycling#makingdo#ecodyed# Cocoondesign

23.01.2022 Creative Embroidery with Aukje Boonstra Textile Artist Exploring the straight stitch Join me and discover how incredibly versatile the straight stitch can be. H...ow the stitches can be placed, playing with tension and using fine and coarser threads. You will be amazed how far the humble straight stitch can be taken. The way we will be working will be liberating We will create several samplers through the day which can be put together into a cloth book for future reference. I will bring several of my cloth books and other textile art pieces along to inspire you. All you need to bring is your sewing kit, containing various sizes of needles and a few pins, embroidery scissors and all-around scissors. Materials will be supplied. Though if you have pieces of material you would like to work with, please bring them. When: Saturday November 7 2020 from 10 3 NW Makers Market 27 King Edward Street Ulverstone TAS Cost $ 60 per person.

04.01.2022 Good news today about my work Our homes being accepted in the Minds do Matter exhibition held by RANT at QVMAG. The theme of this exhibition raises awareness of mental health, depression and the roll art can play in healing. My work relates to that in how important our homes and home lives are and finding the Balance in that, for us to function well in daily life. It is our haven, it is where we go back too. Going home.... It touches on homelessness as well, as that often goes together with mental illness. Can't wait to see the other works in the exhibition, which will be held during October in the Community Gallery at QVMAG. See more
