Are you the next Martha Stewart? Exclusive casting call!

January 20, 2011 by Vikram Goyal

Martha Stewart

BigFishCasting.com is looking for the next Martha Stewart as the crafty host for a major food chains website. (We can’t disclose who it actually is).

Do you have what it takes to host your own online craft show?  Young women 25-40 (Yes 40 is still young) with mad (mad is their description not ours) craft skills and a great personality (Scoff, Scoff yes we know ALL craft ladies have fantastic personality) can apply.

There is no casting couch (Sorry Single Ladies). You just need to send in your  info and a 3 minute video via e-mail. (no not 4 mins, or 20 mins it  states 3 mins)  Be sure to include your introduction in the e-mail and your own ‘how to’ video segment to be considered. We suggest that you create the video on Youtube.com and send the link in to [email protected], rather than sending in the whole video via email (probably get you disqualifed).

It will be great if you link to your video via the comment section below so that others can see what they are up against, but this is not a requirement.

The Pilot Shoots Feb 1 in Austin, TX. You get travel, hotel and actually paid! (So stick that all those people who think craft is not a way to make a living)

Deadline is January 24!  So get crafting!

It’s doesn’t state it in the application information but we thought we would take the initiative here and assume that attire is REQUIRED in the videos.   (Sorry Jane) 🙂

If you have any questions then don’t ask as cause we know nothing more than we have written here, you need to e-mail them directly at [email protected].

    Sounds like a discrimination case in the making—limiting the age for entrants—seems to me that ‘older’ more exerienced crafters would have a better handle on crafting, better ideas and a great personality!

    Would love to submit for this opportunity. I am an actress, artist and all around creative soul. I have a 3 minute video I did for the “Oprah-have your own show competition” which I believe would be perfect for what you are looking for. It is called “REVIVE” and it is about using what is already available to create fun and useful pieces of art as well as saving the planet.

    Make sure you submit the video to the email given in the post. Not to us.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
