Blessed be everyone!

I received such a wonderful amulet pouch from Naurwen, that I wanted to make another such swap. The original swap was mimmeli's idea - here it is again, however slightly altered.

The purpose of this swap is to make an amulet pouch. Don't make it too big, make it approximately 6 x 6 cm (ca. 2,5"), but if you want to go bigger, you can always talk to your partner if you have something specific in mind.

Now to the partner's choice part: Your partner will decide which theme they would like! It could be a healing pouch, prosperity pouch or even a protection pouch! It could also be a ritual specific pouch (something to be used in a ritual) or whatever you can come up with. It is then up to you to interpret your partner's choice and make something wonderful for them.

As in the swap done in European Witches, I would like you to add three things to the pouch. They don't have to be giant things as the pouch will be small. You can put prayer scrolls in them, sea shells (thanks Naurwen :D), charms, gems and so on. You can always take a look at your partner's profile to get some inspiration. The items, well, I would prefer if they relate to the theme, really, but it is up to your partner. Make sure to talk to them about it :)

I will make the swap open for all members, but if you flake, I will kick your behind!

:D heeheeh I loved making this pouch for you. :) If the swap's repeated sometime later I'll join another one. I'm afraid I won't have time for this one due to being on holidays soon. Happy crafting!

I am looking forward to this one, BIG time.

SylvanaWolfspaw 05/ 7/2011 #

Aaaw, naurwen! Well, one can always be made again, seeing as they are great accessories as well! Just send me a message with when you'll have time and I will try figure something out ;)

I should also add that you have to list your theme in this comment section! Thanks! :D

does it matter what it's made of? (like felt, beads, cloth ect.....)

SylvanaWolfspaw 05/ 8/2011 #

Not at all. Unless your partner states differently, you can make it out of whatever you want. As long as it can be worn outside the clothes :D

SylvanaWolfspaw 05/ 8/2011 #

I can start this off and then say what I would like:

A healing pouch, if it can be for emotions as well as the body (suffer from hyper-mobility and it hurts!). Thaaanks!

These are the swaps that make me wish I could sew. What a nice swap idea. :-)

SylvanaWolfspaw 05/10/2011 #

Oh, a member from the European Witches actually found a link where you get hints on how to make a pouch without sewing at all! Let me find it for you :)

SylvanaWolfspaw 05/10/2011 #

Okay, I found this, as the sites that were referred to no longer exist:

No Sew Medicine Bag Minimum amount of sewing

I am very open to whatever my partner would like to make for me, but if I had to choose, I would find a meditation pouch, something to touch and center on, useful.

I haven't decided on a theme yet...

SylvanaWolfspaw 05/13/2011 #

There's plenty of time to think about, Katara :) Otherwise, you can ask your partner to look at your profile or talk to you about your wishes :)

SylvanaWolfspaw 05/13/2011 #

Mimmeli came with some good ideas as well as links. First the ideas:

Technically, you could crochet or knit your amulet pouch if you are better at that than sewing and also fabric glue might be enough to hold the amulet pouch together. I am afraid I have no idea if it works as I haven't been using it myself.

Here are the links:

Also, be aware that some people might be allergic to some stuff such as fur or certain fabrics. Please make sure to ask them if they have any allergies!

I would love a pouch with a healing theme, as I have severe digestive problems. If possible, I would love the bag to be somewhat washable (delicately by hand, of course), as I have lots of random itchy allergies, but if that isn't possible with the methods my partner is able to use, don't worry about that. I use tatting as a healing meditation, so will probably store a small shuttle in the bag along with the other charms...

MurphyPagan 05/19/2011 #

I will be happy with whatever theme my partner would like to bestow upon me. I am NOT picky when it comes to things of a positive nature. I do avoid negative energies as much as possible. So, partner, look at my profile and make me a wonderful surprise. I know you will do me proud.

mimmeli 05/20/2011 #

I would enjoy a pouch with theme of Epona in relation with dreams if possible, a cat theme would be nice too.

Gofeen 05/20/2011 #

I would like a healing pouch or a senses pouch, either smell or touch. Or a combination of both these things, please.

Deydra 05/21/2011 #

I would like something to help with nightmares, or something protective :)

Mailed on Tuesday June 7, 2011.. Post office said it might take 7-10 days :)
