Happenings at A Place in Time on 4-14-15

Aloha Everyone,

It's the middle of April and I've been extremely busy in my Laser Den. Our regular customers like the Four Seasons, Eco Solar, Starbucks, and Kumu Kit keep us busy with requests for name tags and electrical labels. Most recently, we done some work for individuals from the Queens Hospital, the Rotary Club of Lana'i and Subway. You may see some of our newest name tags being worn by a few people at 1st Hawaiian Bank in Kailua. I am always looking for something new and Sara at Aloha Salad got me to thinking about chalkboard name tags. Some companies use them because of a high turnover in employees. I experimented with a glossy black Acrylic and found that it can be engraved and also written on using a gold leafing pen. It provides the best of both worlds with a gold filled logo and names in gold also. An employee leaves, just erase the name and reuse the name tag. So far the people I've shown it to seem to be very pleased. Look for it over at the Starbucks in Kailua also.

It's fun for me to redrawn a company's logo in the language of the laser so that it can be engraved

Black Acrylic with the Gold Fill - I think it has a real elegant look

This name tag "proof" was done in the black acrylic - everything that you see in black was gold filled

And you might recognize the signs we engraved on Koa for Lanikai Juice

Now for the real purpose of this Blog entry. Fran's Next Class - it will be a two-part class. The first segment will be Saturday, April 25th. You will be creating cute punch art.  There is still room and you can RSVP by emailing Fran at scrapnhawaii@hotmail.com or calling me at 261-2882. The 2nd class will be on Saturday, May 30th. In that class you will create an album for the punch art. You can sign up for one class or both. The cost is $20.00. The cost for the May 30th class is yet to be determined.  The following items are what you will need to bring to class: black pen, white pen, scrapbooking chalk, scissors, tacky glue (and toothpicks), crop-a-dile, and of course your imagination. Optional items include: Dreamweaver's Picasso. You might also want to bring some "bling" and/or dimensional tape for the punch art.

This is so cute it makes you want to smile. 

Well, that's all for now. Please give me a call if I can help you with anything.

Have a great day,

Bill
