The Above pic are Sushi candles made by Cindy Erskine of Maple Ridge I wasn't sure if in the past i had put these cuties in a Peek-A-Boo. It continues to amaze me what creativty can fit into the Outsider boxes. The Sushi Candles come with wasabi and ginger these sushi candles truly look good enough to eat.
Outsider Art In A Box Subscription is peeking the curiousity of some...Above certainly is a little gem you could receive in your monthly subscription.

Yesterday i had the pleasure to attend a friends graduation at the University Of Victoria,my friend graduated with a Bachelor Of Social Work Degree.
I was quite taken with the Victoria BC outdoor campus as it was full of bunny rabbits all different colors and sizes hopping about.
At times i feel very much like these bunnies as i hop about on the creative path,taking little nibbles here and there. There is always something to keep me creatively focused...
At this time i am preparing for the upcoming Culture Crawl November 24-26 as two machines will be hosted at Purple Orange Arts Studio,yep u read right two machines more on the second machine coming in near future posts.
I received an email the other day and it was pointed out that i did not have the art vending locations posted on my site quite an oversight on my part but has now been attended to ,please note locations will be posted here on the blog on the right hand side.
well its a rainy day and i as i look at my to do u in list..its time to say so long farewell for now i shall return!!!

Yesterday in my snail mail was this awesome surprise sent to me from a couple of supporters of my website alteredanything.com.
its quite delightful and fun i have it hanging right in my sight...One never knows how creativty affects people and its nice to know that they enjoy what they see.A simple gesture like the one above makes a big difference for us working artists.
As you all can see i have made some changes here on the blog. Its a rainy blustery day out there,which is a wonderful time to settle in and create.
Have a great long weekend one and all!!!

On Friday night we went to see Bruce Cockburn at the centre,my partner Bev won the tickets on clear Fm radio,it was quite a surprise and the concert was awesome we had excellant seats. I truly love the smaller venues and know that i am way past wanting to be with thousands of people to catch a glimpse for lots of dollars.
It was my first experience being at the centre,the acoustics were awesome!!! this smaller venue offered a whole lot and i gotta tell ya old Bruce still captures an audience.
The above machine will go through a big transformation this week...This is the orignal Outsider Art In A Box machine that had its debut way back in May,i remember the vision i had for this machine and it came into being,along the way it was suggested to have different looking machines i had to really work through that as i wanted to hold fast to my vision,however like all things visions change and today i am happy to say that the diversity in the machines creative outlook has been a bonus.
My posts have certainly been sparse these days and i want to say sorry bout that,i am feeling and being very creative now and taking full advantage of the high.
I also pursue other creative paths so Outsider is a part of the journey.. I always welcome your creative expression to put in a box..
Have A Creative Filled Day!!!
