There, beside me in the tent are my own handmade pouches, the two I use for myself. I usually carried money in a plastic bag until I thought how unfit it was for me to use such poor wallet. And it is a joy to the eye to use them and see them and just simply admire the colourful patterns on each. Pouch Alpujarra is send off to Australia. A long way. And, although not quite equally long, this piece of fabric was made on my walk through Andalucia. A third pouch has been sold by my friend @pushbikegirl I find it always a bit awkward to sell to someone visiting, whether a friend, cousin or sister. In Iran I learned to ask trice whether someone is sure. In doing this it gives the other time to change their mind. In all honesty, I asked Heike only twice whether she rather wants it for free. Zipper pouch 'Small as Catpaw' is being chosen together with pouch 'Candi'. Now the set of three 'catpaw' design is even less complete: only one part is left. It might not look similar yet all three creations are made with the same Japanese stitch, but on different fabrics it gives another look altogether. Pouch Candi is chosen by someone and being send abroad. Made with some unusual material, like the upholstery of a an old Hungarian chair. I have also incorporated a piece of the silk scarf from my husband's dad, a stone bead from India and an old zipper that hopefully functions for a long time to come. The very first time we met, I thought: 'Is this the man I will marry?' I disliked that thought as it sounded quite desperate while I wasn't actively searching for a husband. But Geo and I recognised, in these very early and immature and tender moments, that we could work out as a team together.

CINDY NEEDLEART in a nutshell

Beautifying fabrics born of a desire to be creative while traveling.

The beautified fabric becoming a pouch.

A pouch can be as well an artful creation and yet keeping its practicality.
