Its Official-HGTV Airdate!


I'm almost afraid to post this buts its official I finally have an air date for a segment I filmed for HGTVs Thats Clever. Back in the Spring of 2007 I filmed a six minute segment for over six hours. Four people including a producer, director, camera guy and sound guy took over my tiny apartment and filmed me demonstrating the craft of making a miniature giraffe doll. The segment features the full tutorial from the sculpting, baking, painting and dressing the miniature doll. It was a grueling process.. between the multiple takes and my newly discovered stuttering problem I managed to get through the segment. I learned a lot from the experience- mostly that I'm not cut out for television. Frankly jumping out of an airplane would of been more comfortable. :) Thank goodness my mother was there for moral support. So years later its finally airing. With so many other shows in the can I guess it takes awhile to get on air. Heres a photo of the giraffe doll featured and setting up for filming.

No Coast 09 Show Pics


Just a couple of snap shots from the No-Coast Art Fair. Both days were good. Saturday was beautiful and the people were out in droves. These photos were taken during the quiet morning before the event. My new felted ornaments were hit as well as my plush ornaments. Some talented new artists there. Penguin and Fish and Studio Mela were my favs. P@F is a triple threat, graphic designer, illustrator and toymaker. My favorite kind of artist! Check them both out at etsy.
