Hi, my name is Rosa Alexis and welcome to my home on the web! I was born in Chile now reside in Australia.
Here I show my work on my most favourite hobby,which is Parchment Craft.This is an ancient beautiful craft that is widely practised in South America and now widely practised
around the world today,thanks to the pioneering efforts of my teacher and master guru Martha Ospina.

I am a registered Pergamano tutor,since 1995.And currently, I am the Queensland Co-ordinator for Pergamano.I fell in love with this craft because of the beautiful whitework and lacey edges.As well as making this craft I enjoy the designing aspect of this craft and you can find my published works in the 'Australian paper crafts magazine'. I have been honoured as the 'Designing Australian of the year' in thier annual 2005 publication.In March, 2005 I also gave a televised demonstration on the 'Extra' show on Channel Nine.

You do not have to be an artist to create wonderful results,the basic techniques include tracing,embossing,dorsing,perforating and

I hope that you enjoy this website.
If I could ask that you please sign my guestbook, that way I know who my guests have been, and what part of the world you are from, thankyou!
Please feel free to email me if you have any parchment craft queries or suggestions for my website, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for visiting!
and happy parching.
Rosa
