Open Studios Day Two

Close to 70 people today at the Altered by the Sea Studios and -TADA! - lots of sales. Again, everyone loved the art and seemed really interested in learning more about altered books and assemblage.

And exciting news - 3 commissions so far for future work. One customer had just begun doing altered books, so it was quite rewarding to provide inspiration and ideas for him.

Margot, Destiny(who came to help staff the register today) and I celebrated afterward with a delicious dinner at Taco Temple, our favourite local Mexican food eatery. Life back to normal 'til next Saturday when Encore weekend of Open Studios begins.

Updates!

My work colleague and good friend Destiny Carter is a computer whiz and the IT brains behind my blog and website. Last night she came over and put in a couple of hours updating my website, putting on all the new art that has been created since the last update in October. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and cruise over to the newly updated http://www.alteredbythesea.com/ and check out the new Travel Journals and Assemblage Art.

Before the work however, I treated her to Super Nachos at our favourite local Mexican restaurant Taco Temple. If you are ever in Morro Bay you must, simply must, have a muy delicioso meal here. It's absolutely the best. Works great for me - I buy nachos - Destiny creates magic on my website. Such a deal!
