- About Me:
- Hi everyone
I am passionate about the environment and have spent the last 10 years or so promoting hemp as an alternative to cotton and synthetic textiles.
After importing and wholesaling hemp products for the past 6 years I have now concentrated more on promoting Australian hemp products, now that we actually have an industry to promote.
I have also been more active in product creation, and getting my workshop producing organic home products and custom made clothing.
Since I ran an employement program (we made and screenprinted environmentally friendly shopping bags from hemp) myself and some friends have experiemnted with different products looking for something that would become a viable product.
I love to stage events and will be holding a gathering in August 08/08/08 to bring people from the Queensland hemp indusrty together to promote the wonderful benefits of hemp and exhibit what we are doing in Australia.
Creativity is one of the most important attributes we have to rectify many of the inbalances we have created on our planet, so I look forward to interactting with other creative and concerned people on this forum.

an amazing time to live in
What an amazing time in history we live in. Changes are happening at a rate never experienced in my lifetime and certainly not in my parents or grandparents' lifetimes.
While there seems to be a lot of upheaval and anxiety around things like rising oil costs, global warming, the breakdown in society etc it seems to me that these changes are a sign of the old world falling a way and the new world: a more compassionate and awakened one coming forth.
I feel that our true selv… Continue

I have not the slightest interest in clothes now. They mostly look like the old "Baby-doll nightwear" look I used to design for lingerie/nightwear firms after turning freelance. Or like badly-wrapped parcels sent off in the post — fancy paper that got torn and with the goods spilling out!
