Thanks my green friend and spooky timeing.I was just working on that Disk Choaker.This is the first time in years and feels good.Maybe in a perfect world someday we will all be bartering goods for buds but not today.That is verry kind of you to say and I will First speak with the Powers that be.Its funny I had some friends that used to kid me about knitting my hemp,but the slickest thing I ever did was to go up to this honey and slipped a phat necklace on her.When she asked why I did that I said because I made it for you,it worked like butter,and it fit her like I had made it for her.Will show pics tomorrow

Hemp and bud's value is much more stable than the U.S. dollar!

There
was this local band called Max Creek and I went to their shows and did this at every show,every summer last weekend in july they would have this blowout called CampCreek and It was a massave market place.I would save up a ton of hemp things and barter my little ass off.I would come home with 7-10 differnt strains,black hash,blond hash,red hash Beads Clothes Glass Chillims,Glass Pipes and foods from gangagoo to hash cookies.All from the stuff I had made from my own hands.

Had to show the trusty sack.I would have the 3 different diameter spools of mainly bleached hemp from Romania,Transylvania.And all the beads I would acquire by bartering,and some of the hand blown beads,silver Celtic,and semi precious gemmed beads got very expensive.I had this bag tied to one crutch and finished work cleverly looped to the other crutch,you couldn't miss me.

I got to add this when a person wears my hemp It becomes part of the person,their body oils their sweat and their fore their pheromone their Chi a personal and even sexual bond.The coolest thing though was out of the 200-400 different people who picked the necklace they liked only 3 didn't fit the person who picked it.The odds of me randomly making different sized chokers and necklaces and them fitting perfectly over 300 times.And the few that didn't fit I had the trusty green hemp sack to fix the problem.Total Carma working.

Sounds like a wonderful and successful day of bartering. Maybe that will be the new cannabis economy - encouraging creativity, gardening, building and the arts. I must ask, how did you learn the trade?

That sack is very sturdy looking and its looks like a decent cinch at the top

No my Herb fellow friend,it was a wonderfully weekend located on a huge reservation,they had I think its called Marshall law to where cops couldn't come on the property short of a death.The place had big hells angles guys on quads to make sure nothing got out of hand.They searched every car before it entered and only cared about glass,pounds and pounds they would pick up smell compliment the person and put it back.Dozens of bands thousands of Heads from all over,and at night hundreds of drums all beating in unison.I experienced this Manny years and miss the hell out of it,3 days of crazy times I can imagine Woodstock was similar in many ways.
As far as how I learned was pretty cool me and my girlfriend at the time went to a fabric store to get fabric for a tapestry,in line waiting to pay I picked up this 2 page booklet on simple crafts.She pointed to it and jokingly said look you could do that.And I instantly thought of hemp.We went straight to the local head shop got a spool of hemp and a mushroom bead.Now the booklet didn't go past showing you how to do a square knot,but all and all thats all you need.The more complex things like the thick bracelet I had seen something similar only much thinner.I just multiplied by 3 for the bracelet(by 12 for a guitar strap that took close to150-200hours to finish)
And thanks Burnit it is a sturdy trusty sack maybe someday Roland A Duby aka Marijuana Man Origin of Marijuana Man could use it for the good of stoner's everywhere,and if he ever needed any adjustments to that hemp rope of hope I'd be glad to lend my services.
Now on to the journal I worked for hours last night but ran into manny problems.First was the hemp from sitting around for years has relaxed.This means the beads holes are too small for the thickness of the hemp,also all hemp can have burrs (thick bulges).I buy hemp from Romania because I find it of the highest quality,but because of aging I could never match the other side of the Disk Chocker I'm working on without chopping it and starting over.I'm going to try,then post pics and have you guys tell me if I should start over.

I like your work very much. It's a shame you are not marketing your work. Perhaps down the track eh.

[PFlynn]

Thank you Stallion,I have to do it by the book and plan to when I have enough made.Your kind words and everybody elses have gotten me psyced.Now I'm still waiting on pics and then will update the hell I went through today,but all is well.

Sorry no text with the pics up there^I must of jumped the gun.Ok it might not look like alot,but for 2 days now I,ve been fighting with the burrs to get the beads through,what you see on the left looks a little funky at the time.But when completed and worn the hemp will relax into a fine mesh and look good.The burrs were caused by my haveing the hemp unspooled for years,and therefore relaxed.This never would of happened with new hemp,I would of started over but could not find the same hemp I started with.

[PFlynn]

I had a dream last night,and in that dream I awoke to a perfect world where the first thing I noticed was the sun.It was brighter in some way than it should.Then smelled the familiar smell of growing ganja,I opened the window and every square inch of my 4 acre yard was filled with ganja.I ran to the computerto see if anybody at 420Magazine.com knew anything,and theirs ***** streaming live with his ninja cowl on and dozens of hemp necklaces looking a little like a stoner version of Mr T.He says where have you been Marijuana Man saved the day and taken the Vail from off the masses eyes.The plant is grown freely everywhere and now no one can be denyed their medicine.Then as fast as it had started it was over and once again just a fleeting dream.

[PFlynn]

Ok the crown(the part of jewerly where all of the beads are)is done.It looks a little funked up but due to the burrs it is the best I can do.You wont be able to see anything wrong when worn.I will show when finnished,the next pics will be of beads that I want to make something verry special with.
