I’ve had enquiries from people here in Australia asking me why Aussies never win. Well, in fact they have, but it was before I started putting the Winners on the website, and with the hundreds of people who enter the competition from around the world, I can only have one winner at a time, so … keep trying your luck!

| What a busy time I’ve had! I’ve been redesigning the website for one of my websites, AustralianSilkworm.com, I’ve been planning a Sale of silk stock to make room for new, plus I’ve just leased an Artist Studio where I can teach classes and paint away to my heart’s content! Very exciting news! There’ll be a page of classes online very soon with new location, and I do hope local people [Sydney, Australia] will join me. It reminds me of my studio in Paris, looking out over the rooftops, very French. :o) |

The launch of my new Sydney [Australia] classes.If you’d like to learn how to paint on silk, please click the Contact link and let me know. I will send you information on what’s coming up.I am also launching the *Scarfalicious* free demo on How To Wear Scarves. If you have 5+ people in your office or home [or cafe!] within 30 mins drive of Balmain, I am available to come to your location to:
- demonstrate the many ways to wear scarves
- give detailed explanations of how to care [wash, clean] your scarves
- have a mini fashion parade with your group so everyone can learn *how* to tie scarves and see which looks flattering for them
- you will receive printed instructions for each person
- there is no cost for this service
- I’ll bring many samples of shapes and sizes of scarves, and have them available for purchase or to *special order* on the day.
[PS – if you are more than 30 minutes away, let me know and we can make arrangements.]
Scarves can be worn all year round if you know which weight of silk is best for each season. Let me help demystify the world of scarves!
Ready to learn to tie scarves, with your girlfriends and a latte or a cocktail? Click on the Contact link and let’s chat!
[PS – for those of you not who aren’t in Sydney, I do travel interstate and overseas and will contact you when I’m coming to your part of the world, if you let me know where you live.] |

| 2005 – September : Site redesign – woohoo! |
| On 28th Nov, 1998 I purchased the domain name for this website. Several reincarnations have occurred over the years, and this month I am redesigning the new whizz bang website. I’m using the super cool point-and-click *web builder* from BuildAWebsiteTonight.com. [my other business].I’d love to hear your thoughts – click on the Contact link and send a message. I am doing the redesign over a period of weeks [there are sooo many pages!], and am over half way through, so please be patient with me when you see the older white pages [the ones with mini images down the left side]. I really appreciate that! |

| For the past 18 months I’ve been meeting and collaborating with a range of silk artists … online! We decided to create a silk banner with pieces from artists being sewn onto a banner by one of our group, Isabella of U.K. We had artists from Arizona, Iceland, Australia and many locations inbetween – it was fantastic! |

| Invited to participate in the Visual Arts’ Association 3 month Exhbition at the Atrium Gallery in Cairns. I had one of my handpainted silk coats hanging from the ceiling, suspended on a rod, and it floated in the gentle breeze. I also displayed silk paintings, and it was a very successful exhibition with international visitors. |

| Relocated to far north Queensland at the top of Australia. I felt the need for a couple of years surrounded by palm trees and rainforests, and this fuelled my creativity. I designed new clothes, furnishings and achieved many things I’d been sketching on paper for years. |

| Decided to create an online space for silk artists, in particular Australian silk artists where they could find silk products and other resources. The AustralianSilkworm.com was launched and has grown from strength to strength. Also has a membership of international members who receive monthly newsletters on what’s online and upcoming events and exhibitions to participate in.The website visitors come from all corners of the globe to find resources for everything they need to buy worldwide. |
