My afternoon....or Birth of a Ghillie... now with PICS!
I have wanted a ghillie suit for years.
I have also slowly collected the various parts...the BDUs, the burlap, the camo netting, even got the Shoe Goo.
This afternoon, the thing has started to take shape on my living room floor. (Here's where teaching in higher education for not a whole lot of money really pays off.....very light teaching schedules in the summers....yippee!)
Right now, there is a woodland pattern BDU top spread flat between the coffee table and the TV, and it's got netting Shoe Goo'ed to about 90% of the back.
I'm letting the back dry before I flip the shirt over and Shoe Goo the netting to the tops of the shoulders and about six inches down the front side.
After I post this, and my head stops buzzing from the Shoe Goo fumes, I'm going to affix netting to the BDU pants I've got.
I will post pics when I get the project further along.
