Your support is so very valuable to me. Not because I want to accumulate money. No… if I wanted to do that, I would certainly not put effort into selling my embroidered items. The time I spend on the pouches would be impossible to turn into a fee (collecting dye material, preparing dye and fabric, create a design, embroidering, photographing, editing). I am grateful because of the appreciation you show me, whether in words, purchases or perhaps a little extra in the form of a donation. Truly a lot of effort goes into creating the pouches and it all started out with me cycling the world and the need to be creative. My motto became:
Active and Creative came together. The mind wanted Beauty and Usefulness. These 4 are combined in the pouches I embroider.
Now I do not cycle the world anymore and are much more bound to a self sustainable lifestyle, the need to have an outlet for my creativity stays. The old fashioned ways, the slow steps and repetitive movements of seeing a piece of fabric transformed is a wonderful one.
From natural uncolored textile I move to a colorful one, dyed by hand with nature’s materials. From an empty canvas I travel towards a designed one. Often this is done while I am either hiking or cycling, from one camp-spot to another. Because my embroidery stays true to the initial need to be creative while soaking in the abundance of our natural beauty.
I again thank you for your payment and/or donation.
