This old net loft or processing plant overlooks the small boat harbour of Rough Bay on Malcolm Island. It appears to still be in use to some extent, where others nearby are definitely beyond use as they are or have collapsed over time. This is a working harbour with a long history of fishing and boat building.
One of the most intriguing textiles we saw being made here are the rugs that are fabricated from old used salmon gill nets - possibly out of this net loft. We were told that currently there are only two industrious ladies on island who make these rugs. They are very beautiful and the one lady who had some in her shop wasn’t sure she was ready to sell them yet as the nets she made them from were over 100 years old. They take hours and hours of time and patience to make she said.

What a scrumptious mix!
"All I want is freedom
Is that too much to ask?
All I yearn for is freedom
I’m stuck inside this flask
All I need is freedom
To let me live my way
All I seek is freedom
To get me through my day
What I request is freedom
And give me what you will
I urge a little freedom
To guide me up this hill. "

The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.

The Big Telecoms are all spying on each of us on the unconstitutional behalf of our government, which Obama will never do anything about, & they are giving huge sums of payola to our congressional representatives & senators, many of whom lie criminally in bed with them, where, yes, whores & Johns that they are, They feel each other up.
You might want to address an email to the Great American Brothel - that is, Washington, DC - or you might prefer to feel helpless & hopeless, & await the certain & unpleasant fate that these entwined vipers will soon enough bring to you in forms much worse than the ones already slapping your face.

WHAT I wrote to my congressman, Rep. Rick Larsen (D) WA, because he sneakily sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opposing net neutrality:
FCC: Stand Firm for Net Neutrality
Dear Rep. Rick Larsen:
Net neutrality is to the internet what freedom to express, print & distribute information & opinion is to the press. Opposition to net neutrality in order to obtain campaign funds or other perks from corporations & their lobbyists is not really any legislator's assertion of opinion, as some legislators pretend, but is a crime against the republic.
Make net neutrality permanent. Support net neutrality or lose my support & the support of everyone I know. A nation in which corporations dictate the formation of public policy & legislation of that policy into law by corrupting its politicians is ... well, how would you finish this sentence, Mr. Larsen?
Sincerely ...
Taken overllooking Port Talbot steel works from Morfa beach last summer (such a long time ago now). I went back to the same spot a week later and these flowers had completely withered away.
Net Results group of fishing nets stuck in a barrel just made an interesting arrangement, some vivid colors from the netting, found in North Carolina.

Esse trabalho não é meu, só coloco para inspiração de futuros trabalhos de todas fliqueiras e afins!!!
I lightly oiled the fish tank net with olive oil (to prevent the water drops from running) and stretched it flat on it's frame (lots of clothes pegs to keep it stretched out flat).
The water drops were created individually with a syringe
The whole set up was placed in an improvised light tent (tomato growing frame and a white sheet) and lit by a couple of fluorescent work lights from the garage.
