spinning & flagging

[rowanf]

I recently ordered some flags from Philip Bryan of Flagger Boy. They are really beautiful! If you look in the purchased section for Chrome V you'll see mine in action. They have a weighted corner and you spin them kind of like poi.




So yesterday at lunch I got together with Brad and Dan to practice poi spinning and flagging. It was really fun and the lunch hour sped by. They are both much more accomplished spinners than I and I'm really happy they are letting me play. We used the basketball square to practice in and it was such a beautiful day. There was the smell of cut grass and the sound of birds and the temperature was perfect. And my arms and shoulders are even sore this morning!

I moved my balloon pictures that I've posted here to a web gallery to make them easier to share with folks who don't read my journal. *grin*

gorgeous colors! silk? cotton? rayon?
I'd love to see these. It's been too long since I had a dyepots day, and I need more different things than just scarves to offer in the painted silk department. Wall hangings are good ideas, in my brain, but I've also always loved the idea of silk kites and flags and - goodness, flags to play with!?
hmm... she hmm'd.

Mine are, indeed, silk. And I think it would be fabulous to have a dyepots day. I found my silk dyes not long ago but I'm not sure about my resists supplies. And I really don't have a good heat setting system. If you are interested in evil companionship for a day of silk dying, I'd love to come. :-)

I love veils and seeing these flags are awesome!

this is what I have my eye on in ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=5621534298

I love silk. I wonder how difficult it is to paint silk. Those flags are beautiful. The guys hot too. Gives new meaning to the words Spectators' sport.

That is a yummy bellydance costume. I tend to buy veils from ebay sellers A'kai Silks (http://stores.ebay.com/A-Kai-Silks) and Dance Christinia (http://stores.ebay.com/DanceChristina-Imports). I'll have to make a note of your seller for future drooling. :-)
