# Thread, Silver, Coffee · ด้าย เงิน กาแฟ

> A proposal from Hongdam and Mot Dang (motdang.net Co., Ltd., Chiang Rai) to Cultural Crossroads Asia (CCA, Chiang Mai): the makers of the Akha, Hmong, Iu Mien, Lahu, Lisu and Pgaz K'Nyau (Karen) peoples sell direct through Mot Dang's shop system Rung (fee 5% of what is paid, half to the makers' block fund), with part of each sale to CCA; coffee from highland farms; adaptive fashion including silver ring splints; market stalls mapped by phone camera; paid tasks by phone with LINE, no computer or email. The pictures are drawn in code as embroidery and appliqué. Toys: an Akha swing festival (the tall swing and the hand-turned wheel); six portraits in festival dress; a Hmong pleated skirt that twirls (Blue Hmong batik or White Hmong hemp); a story cloth stitched part by part; a ring splint on a finger; where the baht goes; cherry to cup; one walk, every stall; a phone is enough. English and Thai.
