Sorry for two posts, one after the other - they kinda don't go well together... :[

Whilst I'm not particularly fond of dark navy or indigo blues, I WOULD find myself wearing a gorgeous, simple, indigo blue kimono with subtle pinstripes...with a slight hint at the sleeve openings of a magnificent, vibrant crimson and white shibori juban...along with a lushly woven obi. To me...the essence of iki.

So, with my longing in mind - I decided to make a four pouches, using some of the nice indigo died or stenciled navy blue vintage silk I had...giving them intense vintage silk vibrant linings, depending on how busy the outer pattern was. I was quite happy with how they came out!

Top pouch: Stenciled navy/blue design on black
Second Pouch: Indigo with faint white pinstripes
Third pouch: Woven navy with white and red dots
Fourth pouch: Indigo shibori

Linings:

Thank-you for looking, yet again ;]
