Basic Campcraft Weekend

[Wayland]

I'll be there for some of it.

I'm using it as a base to do some photography from so I'll probably work out of the van.

 

[Barn Owl]

I can't make it due to family commitments.

I'll be there Saturday morning, hopefuly about 9ish.

I have "borrowed" some potassium permanganate and glycerol for fire lighting as well.

Weather looks promising with temperature (with wind chill) hovering at about freezing during the day and dopping to -8c at night. 60% chance of snow on Saturday night too!

Looking forward to it.

(and seriously thinking of comandeering Wayland's van...Wombles don't do 'cold' )

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

If you nick the van, i'll bring me coffin tent

 

[Wayland]

The last person I shared the van with snored like a water buffalo........

I ended up sat by the fire all night...

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

Wonder who that was........ did they like skittles LOL

 

[Wayland]

I didn't try.............

 

[Wayland]

I'll be on site in the van (Red Vito) from Tomorrow evening.

See you there.

Paint some pics of Bushcraft knives and that kind of thing, set up a stall on a meet. I bet you'd sell loads lol
Two birds with one stone, awww I'm not serious but hey, you never know

 

[stevesteve]

And your artwork looks great Firecrest! - the Venice ones are my favorites - alas no money

My wife used to sell Phoenix cards - many a happy (?) hour spent sitting in cold stalls selling nowt. A grand total of exactly £0 was our worst score. Good luck with yours!

Hope the folk going don't freeze too much!

Cheers,
Steve

Not going to be able to make this meet now, life appers to be getting in the way

Have fun all who are going, and positive vibes to Firecrest for the stall

 

[firecrest]

cheers guys. If I sell nothing again Im going to jack it in.

 

[stevesteve]

"Jack it in"

Not the painting surely? But the sitting at stalls I could understand. It can be a thankless task sitting in a booth you've paid for not making the stall-price back.

Cheers,
Steve

Linz, I know it was tongue in cheek, but someone suggested bushcrafty themes for future work....

Could you do commission style work from photos, or is that not your bag?

If you could, folks could choose their favourite photo (copyright issues shouldn't apply if they own the original) and you work your magic based on the photo?

I know my pastel work from Middlewood draws many comments...

Alternatively, go to as many Meets as possible and affer your artistic services to folk there...paint / draw / sketch their tarp / hammock / tepee / cook set.

Just a thought as it would be a shame to see you pack it in!

[firecrest]

no no, I didnt mean pack in the painting! That would be impossible, it must be a kind of painting tourettes Im not able to stop doing it just like that. I meant the stall, dont see no point in spending money travelling there each week if it just causes me to lose money.
Yes bushy themed art *scratches chin* I have a couple of things on the go. see how it flies when Im done

 

[Gray]
