    New hammock design and stand ??

    Found this while searching for hammock clipart at http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/76700/767...02_hammock.htm


    Sleeping Purpose Hammock

    File Name: 76702_hammock
    Description: The hammock is used for swinging, sleeping, or resting, made of a fabric sling suspended or stretched between two points. It normally consists of one or more cloth panels, or a woven network of twine or thin rope stretched with ropes between two firm anchor points such as trees or posts. Hammocks were developed by native inhabitants of tropical regions for sleeping. Later, they were used aboard ships by sailors to enable comfort and maximize available space, and by explorers or soldiers traveling in wooded regions.

    Hmmm... that's pretty interesting. I wonder how comfy it really is.
    Great find. Thanks for posting.

    Thats pretty cool, it may be a little off topic but what are you doing with the clip art you find? I make vinyl graphics and decals and have been trying to come up with a cool hammock one or two for my truck, got any ideas you are willing to share?

    To me it looks like a da Vinci drawing of a prototype of a portable beach-chair.

    Personally I don't see any depth in it that it can even be close to the meaning comfortable.

    I am looking to do the same thing but have not found any clip art I like. Figured I might have to get someone who is creative and can draw create something. I am willing to share if I find something.

    Kinda of reminded me of a mid evil torture rack. Maybe Shug will build one one and show us how to get on it using his unicycle.

    This isn't exactly what I want but I think I am going to cut it in white and put it on my truck until I find something else.

    If you want, I can see what I can do in Photoshop and replace the lion with this 'cowboy'.
