Hemp Art Journal

[PFlynn]

Ok I just got properly boned enough to start this.The stuff I make comes from the heart and soul.I put my all into them.never make the same one twice unless someone begs me because they liked it.I try and use only blown glass beads,silver,bone,keltic or the nicest beads possible.I carefully check the beads to see how manny crazy ways I can use them,also how thick the hole in the bead is(you need to know how many strands can fit through it.I
have spent alot on some of the beads but the outcome was always worth it.I love challenging myself to do something new and crazy every time.This stuff was my lifeblood for years.I never kept tract but I've sold at least 8-10grand in hemp things,but that is also from what I bought with supplys and I gave alot away free to friends.Actually most of my friends stold the one they liked and then showed up a minute latter wearing the necklace with a shiteating grin on their face.That was what really inspired me,my friends were walking advertisement for me plus seeing my work on friends felt good.So I went crazy working day and night makeing them and started going to all kinds of shows selling them,Alot of times I would go to a show with no money,sell one to get in.I sold at the Million Marijuana March 1999,2000,every Jones Fest,Oz Fest,Camp Creek,Gathering of the Vibes,and others I'm too stoned to remember.It really changed my life.Well years went on and life went on and slowly all the friends started getting married and liveing out in the sticks I never see them.So without the inspiration of people telling me what they thought honestly I stoped makeing them.I thought even if I made them for a head shop I'd never hear what the person thought.So I have a few I have started I'll put down.I have pics of them just started I'll put in,and show more as they are made.Hope you enjoy.

Because over the years that I stoped making them I still had some supply's left and I collected the beads you see.So every once in a while I'd get the itch to see what I could do with those beads(they all had crazy holes to use)So I would start one see what I could do with it.But then I'd get bummed for some reason and just put them down.Doing this journal will now motivate me.

So in turn we will see more of your artwork?

[PFlynn]

Yep yep I did some work today just waiting on approval.Its not much,but like a grow journal I want to show step by step.In the pics I also show the rest of my supplys.Thanks for the input Burnit.

This is what I have left to work with.



I worked on this one today,I alternated the colours and after the chocker will relax from the persons body oils,swest,and whatnot.And when relaxed it'll look like a solid mesh of hemp.




And this one I wore for I dont know long,another old friend.

I hope you all enjoy this,if anyone has any questions,coments or just want to tell me how much you hate them let me know.

I love your work. It is easy to see how they would sell so well at events. Maybe someday you can be a 420Mag sponsor and we could all order some!
