Supplied his own material
In this afternoons mail I recieve a package. The note said he would like a kilt made from the contents of the package.
Now this is going even further than designing your own tartan. The jonsing factor on this is going to be frightening.
This client expects me to plant it, cultivate, harvest, process. Spin, dye and weave it into cloth..... then make a kilt!
I might be tempted to do just that....
Introducing Tassie Hemp approximate delivery will be late 2008-2009.
Some Mondays are a little more frightening than others

Is it legal to export and import seed from another continent without having Ministry (or Department) of Agriculture clearance? Robert, I think you should be very, very careful!

Oooo, I see the problem! It is the wrong kind of hemp.
I might guess at who sent it..........

Just checked Canada Customs if the seed came from the States and is considered a "field crop seed" then it requires no permit.
However I also discovered that hemp seeds from Canada can no longer be shipped south of the border (again) due to concerns of THC levels. Sorry fellas hemp is fine it's that pesky THC that has stifled the production of, and produced a bias against, a truly wonderful material. I teach lines & knots, do you think I can even find a sample of hemp rope anywhere?

Do you think someone would notice a mature 12 foot flowering plant in my backyard?
It's all Graham's fault.......
May end up doing life in a cell with no chance of parole and making kilts for inmates....not sure if I'm liking that......
I think I will stick with my regular supplier of hemp.
Thanks Graham it was fun to receive in the post.
