ARTIFICIAL
please

My tolerance for plastic-y foods is diminishing right along with the availability of beautiful greens in winter. Just when it would be helpful to be a fan of processed foods, I find them less tolerable than ever.   I’m even growing intolerant of frozen vegetables.  Unless I want to live on spinach and kale, I’m going to have to find a solution.  In the meantime, this next Call isn’t tolerating the plastic either; it is all about the natural world.  Take a look…

is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated.  Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods.  But, as we work toward designing a  kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven?  Not so sure.  But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call.  How about you?

My 14 year old TAKES HIS LUNCH everyday.  No joke.  He is allergic to wheat, and public school lunches, aside from having wheat hiding everywhere, are not to his liking.  I have ruined his ability to eat fake food.  So, his lunches are often a little like homemade Lunchables™ with a little of this and a little of that.  But the last time I had to fly, I encounter the most bizarre concept–Lunchables™ for adults.  Well, not literally; at least I don’t THINK Oscar Mayer® is making in-flight foods.  Maybe a little tapas lunch of your own making will help you tackle this gravity defying Call.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Take Flight from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and I’ll bet you already have lots of work that works with this theme…

For Take Flight, The Kiernan Gallery seeks
images of and about defying gravity.

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods?  It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear.  My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas.  Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas.  Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next CallThis is a beautiful venue, by the way…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land.  My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later.  Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap.  I know.  The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call.  Keep reading…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Hera Gallery (Wakefield, RI) for Landscape at the Edge.

I don’t really have any major meals to cook during the holidays.  My mother-in-law traditionally makes homemade sloppy joes for Christmas Eve, and my mother cooks a ham and sweet potato cassarole.  Normally I will make a green veggie, but other than that, I’m off the hook.  My mother is 72 years old.  How long do you think the “I’ll bring the zucchini” line is going to work?  Mmmhmm.  I see  massive meal preparation in my near future too–it’s only fair.  But for all the injustices in our creative lives, there is always this next Call…
