Nettle powder

Nettle leaf powder

Posted on July 24, 2021 by Cindy

I seek for plant parts with which I can dye and where I can make delicious recipes with. Nettle, the weed we all know, is one of them.

Cycling with all four panniers in the mountains of Bosnia is not an easy outing. But even would I have a bikepack set-up or walk, I still wouldn't be able to pull it off. A new design that is worked at with a lot of desire. I can't promise sooth nor sparks of fire that burns through the fabric but I do promise it'll become super pretty! Words like these makes me want to meet the person behind the purchase of my pouches. A new start. Hemp cotton dyed with dandelion flowers. A drawing in the style of North indian style. It will feature mirrors from India that will be attached using my mom's, almost antique by now, wooden embroidery hoop. Pouch Ted & Tina is finished. Embroidered in phulkari, a stitch originating from the Punjab in India/Pakistan. Colors are inspired by Rajasthan influences. The fabric is dyed with mulberry and the silk lining with grapes. I am, once again, very content with the outcome. What do you think? And here I am at the finish of another pouch. It will be called Ted & Tina. Do you have an idea why I call it this (Maryse may not answer this) 😘

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.
