    Thank you very much everyone. I am truly humbled by the support and belief in me. Due to some unbelievable support from Arts Access Aotearoa and everyone who has donated, I am now fully funded for Houston. I will be closing this off as of midnight tonight. I will be posting Photos and other bits and pieces of my Houston Excursion on both my FB page and my Website please feel free to have a look there for more from 28th October when I land in Houston. The image is me in my new coat that my friend Fiona from VelvetCherry in Wellington and I have been collaborating on over the past 2 months and which I will be wearing in Houston.

    yours sincerely

    Daena

  • Achievement Unlocked: Funding application successful im going to Houston but...

    Due to complications I've lost my very experienced travel buddy who was to share accommodation costs and this has chewed up all our contingency money. While I'm currently touching base with people in Houston and surrounds for company and guidance while I'm there I would feel a lot happier if I knew that I had some of that safety buffer back in place. therefore we are boosting this in hopes that we can reach a few more lovely people who may be willing to contribute :)

    the quilt you can see under my machine has been finished and accepted into OzQuilt Networks "Australia Wide Nine" which starts in South Australia on November the 8th and will be touring for 18 months. The quilt is called "Taken" and I have included a closeup of part of it for you.

    thanks to the generosity of everyone who has contributed here so far we have been able to lock in flights and accommodation to attend Houston, further contributions will be helping me make the absulote most of this opportunity when I get there.

    thanks to several people pointing me in helpful directions I have been applying for funding to help with this, and I'm just about to drop off the most recent funding application. Shout out to Arts Access Aotearoa who has been incredibly helpful in supporting me with my applications and helping me find resources to try and tap
