i'm ready for my close up (i think)
natalie from craft magazine just posted a video podcast that features me demonstrating how to use the flower looms.
if you think this looks like fun please visit my shop where you will find the kits that i have assembled with all the the vintage supplies you'll need. i have also put together a few 3 packs of the craft straw too!
having trouble viewing the podcast? you might have better luck here on you tube.
UPDATE: thanks to everyone for your overwhelming response! my shop is nearly sold out. i am working fast + furious at putting more together. i will have them at renegade brooklyn june 14+15 and renegade san francsico july 12+13.
Cathy--It's a great little tutorial. I loved watching you make the flowers. thanks!

I love the video. My Aunt Ginny sent me a box of her old sewing and craft supplies and in the box were two of the le fluer flower looms, but sadly with no instructions. I was thinking about getting rid of them, but your video has me inspired to hunt down some artifical raffia and have a go at making some of those nifty flowers. Thanks for putting the info out there.

Cathy-I saw your segment on the Martha show and fell in love with the flowers. I make beaded flowers, which are also very colorful, so your flowers immediately caught my eye. I ordered your loom kit and some synthetic raffia and was so excited when they arrived. I made my first flower this morning. It was so easy, and now I'm hooked. Thanks for sharing your passion.
