Conversation Pieces is a home-based, women’s retail business specializing in Batik and tie-dye sarongs which are truly versatile in that they are fashionable and functional. What makes sarongs so unique is that they are handmade by artisans in Bali, Indonesia, can be worn by both men and women and used to tie babies for transport to the back or bosom. However, most often, they are used as beachwraps but can also be worn as wrap skirts, halter tops, dresses and headwraps, which I can demonstrate. Sarongs can even be used decoratively in the home as table cloths, furniture throws, wallhangings and window treatments. The only limit is your imagination!

Sheila M. Palmer is a fiber/mixed media textiles designer. Her media is in creating works of fine textile fabrics/design for wearable arts, home interior, architecture, theater, and product branding. The blending of colors, print patterning, and graphic print designs can be seen in all her works. Her works are reflective of her education, travel, and research exposure with every one-of-a kind original piece, which takes on an expression of beauty never seen before. So much of her work is inspired by indigenous cultures from around the world. Techniques have been perfected by hand when working in theater, period clothing, interior designs and museum installations. Much of her work can be seen throughout the United States, England, France, Italy, homes and public spaces where she has been commissioned.

Teaching through the College for Creative Studies Community Art Partnership programs throughout Michigan schools resulted in a stellar performance in the creative curriculum surrounding Global Textiles. Sheila has been featured in major Fine Art Festivals throughout the region.
