The shells are dried up freshwater gastropods/snails that I collected in Bosnia and Hercegovina.

hand dyed with
sumac fruits
The embroidered fabric is silk cotton dyed with sumac fruits. The lining is sturdy cotton.
Yarn: for the embroidery DMC.
Hanging cords are made from untreated wool I got from Bosnia and Hercegovina. They are macrame braided.
Care: the cotton is prepared in such a way that it keeps the color when you hand-wash the pouch. Do not dry it in direct sunlight, as sunlight always fades colors.
