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.

February 20, 2012 – HempDeeDee! … My handmade hemp fabric Kindle, etc. covers

As a longtime hemp fabric enthusiast, I have designed and sewn 5 samples, made of hemp fabric. These are covers which can be used to cover your Kindle, or your Tablet and/or your Ipad.

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 COLUMBIA’S 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 ‘stand-alone’ 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 ‘constraining’ 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 ‘seamstress’ 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.
