Are you there craft? It's me, Garth. I've been a neglectful blog dad for the past couple of weeks, and I'm trying to make up for it. I want to do better than just buying a stuffed animal at the airport.
One of my proudest recent achievements is the past months is the release of the Re-Construct DVD, a project that I did with mega-crafter Jeanee Ledoux, author of Abode a la Mode, and Eyekiss Films. Eyekiss is best known for their series of how-to turntable videos, DJ 101, and Re-Construct was born when Dave from Eyekiss and Jeanee hatched the idea of doing a "how-to" craft DVD that would be a viable alternative to all of the how-to books on the market. I was honored to be selected as co-host of the DVD. As you all know, I'm a big fan of crafting with reused and thrifted objects. Re-Construct takes it to the next level.
Even though this thing looks like a million bucks, This DVD is a true independent, D.I.Y. project. We're taking on the TV networks and publishing industry, and proving that there is an audience out there for fun projects like the ones we have to offer. The DVD walks you through eleven projects clearly and methodically. As longtime readers of Extreme Craft know, I can barely stick two postage stamps together, so I'm the bumbling co-host to Jeanee's cool, collected craft genius. None of these projects require fancy equipment aside from some basic power tool. Basically, if I can do these things, you can too.
You can order the Re-Construct DVD directly from Eyekiss Films. If you've got a boutique or craft store, and you're interested in carrying the DVD, drop me a line. I've got a copy of the DVD to give away to one lucky Extreme Craft reader. Just email me at garth (at) extremecraft.com with a link to the most extreme example of extreme craft you can think of. I'll accept entries through Wednesday, April 22nd.
