Australian textile and digital artist, teacher, writer and musician, Deborah Wirsu, shares how to make wonderful thread sketched and thread painted textile art, offering creative ideas, easy-to-follow advice, along with informative tips, tutorials and online classes. Early forays into a range of sewing and textile arts and crafts led, over time, to a fascination with 'painting' with thread, creating visually appealing works of art using surprisingly easy-to-master techniques. As long as you can use a sewing machine, you can learn to draw and paint with thread.Deborah's work has been exhibited and sold worldwide, and her passion for teaching online has allowed her to reach out to thousands of students around the globe. Other business pursuits and interests involve Classical Music, and Proofreading, Editing and Writing.
