8 Sticky Fingers a Go Green Booth at the Portland Saturday Market

Portland Saturday Market is always filled with different booths of local artists and creative items. These items range from clothing to potted plants and glassware or pottery. There was one booth, which drew my attention on our last visit to this years Saturday Market.

8 Sticky fingers - Owned and operated by Heather Hoff 8 Sticky Fingers has taken one of America's greatest inventions and made it not only nice on the eyes but also useful. I spoke with Heather Hoff for sometimes at her booth located in the Portland Saturday Market and learned that originally this artist make gifts and items from glass. She has now created something wonderful with Duct Tape.

Heather explained that she is an artist and works with glass, water and fire much of the time. Because of this she had many cuts on her hands and arms and could not find a Band-Aid that would adhere to her skin for long. She began using Duct Tape and during the course of time accumulated a large sum of different colors of Duct Tape.

Heather says that one day her husband suggested she do something with all of the Duct Tape that was lying around their home. So being an artist Heather began to make Duct Tape Creations for her 8 Sticky Fingers booth at the Saturday Market.

We found everything from Art, Wallets and Magnets at her location in the Saturday Market. Each wallet or art item is decorated and created using Duct Tape of many different colors. Customers can find bi-fold wallets, single snap wallets, coin carriers, cardholders, ties, handbags and magnets.

Heather has found a great way to make artful items by using duct tape and her imagination. Congratulations Heather Hoff and 8 Sticky Fingers for the great ideas, wonderful gifts and bringing more green to the Portland area Saturday Market.
