Sugar pods

Carob powder

Posted on June 16, 2021June 16, 2021 by Cindy

I started to use plant parts to dye cotton with and in the process of finding these materials I try to get more use out of it. Carob is such a thing. Yippee, makes me happy to get multiple uses out of one plant.

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) 😘 I need to unburden myself! My new friend. 'Our cat V her spot at the window'. Most unfortunately our cat is no longer and her loss brought forth this new creation. This new embroidery project took a year to complete and is done so in a stitch that originates from India/Pakistan. It is a very time consuming stitch and one that I started to love. Here is a new, big, bright and little useful creation, unless you have a cat! #phulkari #embroiderylove #stitchstories #naaldendraad #nadelkünstler #needleandthread #featherstitch #stitchingmakesmehappy #creatingbeauty #borduurwerk #creativespace #kreativ #kreatif #dyedwithnature #natuurkleuren #womencreate

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.
