Wow! We ended up in a media blitz Friday and Saturday.
KHON Morning News filmed at our workshop with Manolo Morales from 6a-8a. (with toothpicks holding up my eyelids...it was a Made in Hawaii Festival preview show...we zipped out of here to open the show at 8:30am!!!!!) We had 4 3-4 min spots! Manolo made his own
Bodacious Bangle with
paw print and bamboo stamps. He's beyond smitten with Bubba...his Yorkie Terrier, now 2 yrs old.
He then made a snack platter with the
Tiki Torches Hawaiian Island Decal...black on copper plate.
He managed to squeeze in another segment, again with the paw print and tracks stamps, he made a cotton tea towel to take home to his pup and wife.
Finally, he participated in the fine, ancient art of Rubber Pressing.
Be sure to see the video link at the top of the blog!
We also made the 6p and 10 pm on KHON as well as KHNL!
Newscasters showed up with cameramen in tow to ask about the Festival, the economy, small business, etc. Hope some of you got to see it. We were headlines on Saturday websites of both stations!!
OMG...the bottle caps keep coming. I'm feeling the pressure to keep up with supply! I can flatten at least one cap per red light. I carry my baggie and pliers almost everywhere. Several weeks ago, it was meditation...now it's becoming obsession. Can't quite get the stale beer smell out of them, tho Diamond Glaze works wonders. Seals the smell in! Just another use for DG!
Thank you to everyone who sends me bottle caps. What kind of beer or soda do you drink? Don't throw them away...send them this way! Filming tomorrow for a Joy of Crafting segment that will air mid August, just in time for the Made in Hawaii Festival. Be sure to save the date and stop by. As usual, something fun and festive will be happening at our booth. August 21-23, 2009. We'll be in Booth #219/220 at Neil Blaisdell Center.
Mike led Stampclub one eve when we were able to create collages between microscope slides. In this one, I used the Fish Stamp, and Vintage Hula girl stickers from our "Aloha from Hawaii" sticker line. On the back I used a few of our postage/cancellation stamps for a "black and white" look.
Thank you all who contributed cards for our brand spankin' new display boards! They looked awesome. we were so busy, forgot to take photos of the whole booth. You would've been proud!
