Speedslinging freehand knotwork on rockerchicksPosted by Catherine Cartwright Jones on August 1, 2001 at 18:22:04: In reply to: Re: TerPeaks and the wonder of excellent workmates posted by yvonne on August 1, 2001 at 17:45:44: : I've been: : speed-slinging celtic knots across bellies, backs and forearms : : nonstop. : Speed - slinging celtic knots??? LOL - I can't even slow-slop 'em : on...gosh I need more practice Swear to God ... Celtic knotwork laid across hip to hip below the belt FREEHAND on rockerchicks backs in 10 minutes flat. 15 tops, if I'm starting to get tired. I'll endeavour to get the technique written up in an article when all this is over. Speedslinging is amazing stuff if you can get a handle on it. If you slowslop, the big gigs are a total nonstarter. If the booth is $400 for a day, speedsling is make or break! Fool that I am, I can't bring myself to do crapwork, even on drunken headbangers anxious to get to the moshpit. The henna is going to be on them after the hangover and bruises have subsided, and I want every last one of them to have an interest and respect for this art, and to check on the websites. That's so this art form can go forward, instead of getting stalled at a novelty to be consumed and discaded. Also ... whatever I learn will be turned over to the forum, so people can walk into the killer venues knowing what skills they need to bring in if they want to survive, or ... if they don't have those skills or the will to walk into this particular level of hell .... they can choose to decline. Side note .... it's a bitch to henna drunks. They have so little body consciousness that they can't hold still, even if you remind them ... they sweat profusely ... and they have no damned impulse control at all. And ... If Gwyn has to yell at one more drunk, "DO NOT PUKE IN MY BOOTH GODDAMMIT", I may not restrain her from throttling them.
