Pocket Carnival is a label created by Penny Eager in Melbourne, Australia. All items are designed and made by Penny in her bright & cheerful studio. I've been a maker of things all my life, starting with toothpicks & icepole sticks that lots of kids play with. I'm happy to have finally built up my art into Pocket Carnival, which has been running since 2007. Pocket Carnival & the Environment Obviously these days we are all concerned about our environment. I'm committed to making Pocket Carnival as eco-friendly as possible. All Pocket Carnival items are now produced with 100% Wind Power (renewable energy, hooray!) Items are made using a combination of new & recycled materials. My recycled materials are gathered in a variety of ways - offcuts or damaged pieces from fabric stores, fabric that's been hidden in closets of family and friends for years, pieces found in op shops, I even sometimes use clothing. My recycled fabrics are all very carefully looked after - I examine each piece to make sure it's not damaged, wash it & iron it. I am slowly using up all my new fabrics, and have made a committment to limit my purchases to new zips, thread and some locally produced organic fabric. I think it's amazing how much fabric is already out there in the world, waiting to be made into sweet little things! |
 Penny hard at work!  Work in progress - pretty teacups for clean brushes! |
