Totally weird request for a firemaking demonstrator

[Toddy]

I have a plea from Dharma.

Denise is organising the first Fleet Fairy Festival at Cream of Galloway on the 24th of April and she needs someone to come and demonstrate making fire from natural resources.

The site is woodland and anything vaguely tunic and trews would be more than suitable, leather belts and pouches, etc., we have.
If you can do warlock costume, or green man, or something else kind of mythical, go for it

I know I get into some strange outfits for heritage work, but this one takes the biscuit, I'm a green fairy, complete with an ivy wreath in my hair

No money for any of us for this one, it's a freebe for a friend.

The company ought to be good, you'll get karma points and it's always a good thing to have folks like us owe you favours

cheers,
Mary

I'd love to do it, but alas my green man costume is in the dry cleaner!



Would't mind seeing some pictures of the event though, especially if you're gonna be dressed up as Julian Clary!

[Toddy]

I just wisnae quick enough to say I was busy that weekend
I don't mind doing craft stuff with kids, I have no issues working with the public, I can blether to anyone. Costumes I can take or leave tbh, prefer my tousers and a baggy tshirt, but this one...... .........I'm gonna look like a green sugar plum with hiking boots

Thing is that the kids don't come on their own, so Dharma's trying to have somethings that'll interest the mums and dads too. Thus the firemaking.

Photos???...........of me ........there's a dire thought

cheers,
Mary

Oh, the photographs are essential.

You can't come on here and whet our appetite then let us down, can you?

Sounds like fun, if a little weird.

[Graham_S]

Photos.
We need photos.

I know I get into some strange outfits for heritage work, but this one takes the biscuit, I'm a green fairy, complete with an ivy wreath in my hair

Surely Earth Goddess would be more appropriate???

and I'm with the rest, photo's are an absolute neccessity

[Toddy]

There will be no photos.......I hate being photo'd........you can have some of Dharma and Trisha and Fiona though

cheers,

Green Fairy is also a name for Absinthe, which is why Kylie played her in Moulin Rouge.

[Toddy]

See the things you can find out on a bushcraft forum ????

Okay, I dyed a pale cream, handkerchief hemmed. skirt and blouse, a nice woodlandy green colour. It was the best I could come up with without ending up wearing tulle........I didn't even wear that to my wedding !

cheers,
M

Mary if you still have that costume I'm looking for something to sit on top of the tree this year cos I broke the star ...... any chance of you .... if your free that is ??

[Toddy]

John the size of tree you'd need to support me would give you a hernia

Send me a pm with your email address, I've got some appropriate funnies Not suitable for a family safe site though.

cheers,

Another hernia it's a bit like the guy who came to my door the other night.......my son answered it and came in saying "there's a fella at the door with a baldy heed" so I replied "tell him no thanks I've already got one"
