Nienke Smit
born in 1967, living in The Netherlands.
In daily
life, co-owner of a company running several niche jobboards in the financial
industry.
In a
parallel universe ;-) I am an artquilter, with a profound interest in dyeing
and painting fabric. I love colour. I love textiles. Dyeing fabric combines
both worlds in such a unique way that I spend many hours exploring all
possibilities, granting these fabrics a major role in my artquilts.
I frequently share my journey in fibres and dyes, both online and off-line, enrichening my life with lots of 'dye and colour loving' friends. Being a SAQA member helped me developing my skills, and increasing my knowledge on artquilts.
You can find me online at www.nienkesmit.nl (english) or at my blog: www.verfvirus.nl (dutch but with a translation button). I am also a regular contributor to the international blog And then we set it on fire (experiments in fibre).

Oh I love the second work! I really sit up and pay attention when you post on the 'Fire' blog. You have a very good way of explaining techniques. I hope I can meet you some time!
