thinking inside the box …

Everyone talks about thinking outside the box. But sometimes, what really stretches you is thinking inside that box. Taking what you already know and re-working it to fit inside the box you are given.

In this case? A cigarette box. Yes, I’m talking Art-o-mat!!

Ever since I saw my first one, I’ve been hooked. I just had to come up with an idea to fit into that box. Well, after playing around with pictures and scraps and thread and stuffing, I did it. I made miniature pet pillows that will stand on their own and fit in a cigarette pack size box. And even better? I submitted my idea to the Art-o-mat folks. And better yet? They accepted my proposal! And the proverbial icing on the cake? Boston’s first Art-o-mat was recently installed in the new South End Whole Foods and my hypoallergenic MINI porta-pets will be sold there!

Clark Whittington, the mastermind of Art-o-mat, will be in town Friday, May 1st at 6:30pm for a meet and greet at the South End Whole Foods (old Boston Herald location). And I will be stopping by as well. If you haven’t picked up your weekend groceries and want to stop by for a smile, I’ll see you there!
