Two Pieces Chosen For CBS's "Macgyver"We have two macrame wall hangings selected for set decor on CBS's "Macgyver" series. These pieces are to appear in the February 17, 2017 episode. "Macgyver" is a reboot from an 80's show that was very popular, staring Richard Dean Anderson. The new show stars Lucas Till, George Eads, and Tristin Mays
"Contentment" and "Seer" may or may not be in following episodes. The show has been renewed, so who know? These pieces could have long and illustrious career in show business. I'll be curious to see how they are used. Help me spot them on February 17.

Trend Or Change?Trends come and go but change is permanent. I've noticed something lately. Is it a trend or a real change? In the digital /machine age of mass produced plastic throw-away's, there seems to be a growing hunger for products and goods made using the old skills and technologies of yesteryear. There's a resurgence recently in the popularity of macramé, woodworking, and crafts - made-by-hand vs. made-by-machine. Is it a spiritual yearning for a simpler time? A desire for quality, thoughtfully hand made goods? A rejection of mass-produced imports without character that wind up in the landfill after they break? Time will tell if it's a passing fad or a paradigm shift. If it holds and is truly a sea-change in buying habits, the upside is promising: • More jobs here at home • More opportunities for home-based cottage industries like those found on Etsy • Less "slock" destined for overflowing landfills • Less squandering of natural resources since made-by-hand items become family heirlooms and are passed down It's encouraging that Millennial's are leading this resurgence by rejecting the "wretched excess" of our current society. They seem to be looking to the past for adding quality and meaning to their lives. The skills needed to produce these made-by-hand goods are becoming rare these days and quickly disappearing. Perhaps it's time to visit a surviving member of "The Greatest Generation" while there's still time. We could all learn a thing or two. |
