Cast iron cat: This cast iron cat was found one day by my Mom buried deep in her garden. She gave it to me to commemorate my much-adored, cat, Simon, who’s passed away, perhaps to be added to his headstone. So lovely & kind. The (wire/leather) whiskers were still attached. Pastel verathan to repair; red wire to hang.

This is the text of my workshop/info booth poster that I had up at UVIC – Fraser Law building 159, yesterday (Feb 19) for Hemp Awareness Week.
WILL A HEMP-TEXTILE ECONOMY EVER BE ON THE HORIZON IN BRITISH COLUMBIAāS FUTURE?
HEMP FABRIC MADE PRODUCTS IN SOCIETY
- Hemp fabrics are a valuable and constructive resource in our society.
- They can be an attractive, ubiquitous and cost effective feature in daily life.
- The growing of hemp crop for conversion to fabric is useful to all.
- Industrial hemp for the purposes of making fabric does not contain the chemical and biological properties of marijuana, THC.
- British Columbia should not be deprived of the legitimate uses of industrial hemp for textile-use. Talk to your politicians.
- www.100MileHouse.com is the model to follow. Visit: http://www.100milehouse.com/agriculture/
- It is entirely possible and appropriate to enjoy the benefits of hemp products, as has been shown by their studies here in BC.
- Hemp fabric is a legitimate and āstand-aloneā product.
- Separate its application and build the potential for industrial textile hemp plantations here in BC.
- Build the potential for fabric manufacturing in British Columbia through a momentum carrying the needed public message.
- Build the potential for hemp-fabric factories in British Columbia by talking to people about the need for innovation locally around industrial fabric hemp.
- Currently it is economically āconstrainingā for wholesalers to import hemp fabric to any large extent. Store may only carry a few hemp fabric rolls whilst carrying dozens of cotton and polyester.
- Equally for ordinary people there are economic hurdles to purchasing wholesale hemp fabric, here in BC, for the purpose of manufacture/local design work since it basically remains a speciality item at this time.
- For a retail customer and/or local āseamstressā to purchase hemp fabric, at present it costs upward of $16 a/yard. Wholesale-hemp fabric is also not readily available.
- This is because the demand for hemp fabric is not well-documented.
- Many people like hemp-fabric made clothing when they see it. Many other people are not aware of its benefits. They need to be.
- The point is: Hemp can be grown locally.
- Hemp fabric can be made here in BC. There is nothing stopping us. Join the movement!
- Investors come on down! People with industrial hemp growing expertise, read how www.100MileHouse.com has set the bar: These plantations are designed for construction-use hemp products.
- Now we need to grow similar plantations for Hemp-textile fabric use.
