A grocery budget surplus comes around rarely in my house, but alas, it magically appeared this week.  I was tempted to be practical and buy a back-stock of staple items.  But at the last minute, I came across tamarind pods and decided to splurge.  I’ve always wanted to make my own tamarind paste just to know if would be better than what I could buy.  It isn’t, but I can now say I’ve done it, ha.  The next Call could put a surplus in your art budget or at least help you meet your budget.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: NY Int’l Mini Print

If you are an apartment or city dweller, it is exciting to trip across another fruit or veg that can grown in a container.  A friend from Atlanta recently sent me pics of the grapevine she is growing in a container on her balcony.  Potted grapes, seriously.  The grapes aren’t miniature; it can just be grown a miniature scale.  She claims it is going to produce fruit in its first year too!  This next Call wants your miniatures — a maximum of 9 square inches.  Printmaking shows aren’t that commons, so don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Madness

Learn more about the Digital and Collage Madness exhibit from the Las Laguna Gallery!patchwork PROVISIONS

The weirdness of my lunch is directly proportional to how badly I don’t want to go to the grocery store.  I spend most of my working hours in my home office/studio.  As a result, my work clothing standards are sometimes (often) not how I’d like to be seen in public.  So to avoid the extra work of dressing and driving and shopping, I create food collages of sorts –often disparate ingredients composed into pasta salads, casseroles & almost anything sauteed & stuffed into a corn tortilla.  This next Call is for traditional & digital collages; I don’t think food collage counts.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: All Things Salmon

Learn more about the All Things Salmon exhibit from the Coos Art Museum!FOOD fight

Tuna & salmon are sometimes a person’s first introduction to food politics.  The “dolphin safe” label has been appearing on cans of tuna since the 1990s, helping consumers influence industry-wide changes in fishing methods. And, the wild vs. farmed salmon arguments continues to be hotly debated by nutritionists, chefs, foodies & environmentalists.  Contaminants vs. nutrition, sustainability vs. over-fishing or Atlantic vs. Pacific.  If you’re looking for a food fight, there’s always one to be had.  This next Call is all about salmon –no arguing required.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sugar Rush

Learn more about the Sugar Rush Juried Show from the Sugar Hill Arts Commission!

a SWEET treat

I’ve been hired to write a series of budget dessert recipes that encourage local, organic sourcing.  I try to limit my personal intake of sugar because I am so easily addicted.  As a result, I am struggling to balance the sweetness in these concoctions.  I don’t want to use artificial sweeteners.  Honey is a flavor, not a just a sweetener.  Stevia can come with a bitter aftertaste. Agave nectar has the same glycemic impact as a sugar, so why not just use sugar?  At what point is sweet just sweet?  This next Call is all about the sugar.  Take a look…
