This morning I was filmed for TV

Here I am with Brooke (the lifestyle correspondent for Better Portland) and Eric (the man behind the camera). They were a great team, very friendly and professional and casual. I cannot say enough good things about Eric and Brooke - the were great to work with. It was relatively fun! I made a ring for Brooke while we chatted about the Portland Saturday Market and my business. The shop was alive with action, there were a 4 lovely ladies torchworking and another 4 people were working on some glass fusing projects. I am not usually in the studio on Monday mornings (after a long weekend vending at the Portland Saturday Market I stay home Monday morning) so it was fun to see so many friendly faces! I hope they all enjoyed (or at least didn't mind too much) having a FOX tv crew up in their space!

Oh I forgot to mention this will air October 16th at 1pm on Fox 12 Better

What Am I Doing Monday Morning? Filming for local Fox TV show!

I am going to be on KPTV Fox channel 12 sometime soon... filming is this coming Monday at the Aquila Glass School featuring me - local Portland Saturday Market vendor, glass artist, torchworking teacher, crafty-lady... so sometime soon a small segment will air on the show BETTER (I will update with video when its available)

This TV appearance has been organized by Reid Decker, the advertising coordinator for the Portland Saturday Market - thanx Reid.

Hope it's fun... I've never worked with "Better" before, the show airs at 1pm on weekdays. I gather its sorta like a locally oriented daytime news show. I am all about advertising in any way I can!

Reality Television Came to PDX

Secret fact about me - I enjoy watching reality television. Yep, the crappier the better. My favorite is currently the one about the woman with 8 kids. Why? I dunno. Back in '04 I was on a reality television show aired by the WE channel called "Please Take My Kids" (the plot: a family with a bunch of kids leaves the kids with the host while the parents get flown away to another state and entertained for a weekend) I was part of the out-of-state entertainment!

This very nice couple came to Portland and they made beads with me in the morning and went rafting in the afternoon (a very PDX visit if I say so myself!).

Here's the part of the show that I am on (why would you want to see the rest?! haha) - its only about a minute total, and I don't think it made me famous. Ah well, it was fun!
