How many of you have a potted rosemary bush?  Mine is blooming a gorgeous array of little lavender flowers.  Did you know the flowers are edible?  If you love the taste of rosemary but find the texture & taste a little to strong for delicate foods like fish, try using the flowers instead.  They are softer in both mouth feel & potency and even make a beautiful garnish when flash fried.  This next call is looking for flora, and it doesn’t have to be edible.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Beyond the Blue

Learn more about the Call for Contemporary Cyanotypes from Don't Take Pictures!pumping IRON

For a couple of years of my childhood, I was inexplicably anemic.  I got used to weekly blood draws and iron shots.  The careful planning of my diet to include iron-rich foods became an endless exercise in meat eating.  It took a whole host of nutritionists to convince my father that spinach and seafood and peas and dried fruit were iron rich too.  I still love raisins.  A little extra vitamin C in my diet through citrus fruit allowed my body to absorb the iron, and voilà, my anemia disappeared, never to return.  Those days may have begun my diehard belief in food as medicine.  Iron was a key to my wellness just as iron plays a vital role in the cyanotypes wanted in this next Call.  Take a look…

“Sir John Herschel invented the cyanotype process in 1842 by treating paper with an iron-salt solution. As one of the earliest photographic processes, cyanotypes are known for their signature Prussian blue color.  This process is now in revival & contemporary photographers are embracing the blue hues, as well as experimenting with toning techniques for a moody, otherworldly aesthetic . . . [DTP] seeks contemporary cyanotypes that go beyond the blue.” –from donttakepictures.com

Except for a few specialty pieces, I’ve always owned white dishes.  I love color, but food has always been the creative expression for me –even when my husband spent two years as a commercial potter.  In recent years, we’ve begun slumping glass part time in a kiln shed built onto our back deck.  I am intrigued by the patterns and textures and colors as they meld together.  It make me want to make a different sheet of glass for every window in my house.  This next Call is a salute to that very visual framework.  Take a look…

Home is where the kitchen is.  Yes, I know–where the heart is; I simply disagree.  Anyone can leave, move & travel, but we all have to eat.  Whether it is a hotel kitchenette where a sandwich is a welcome relief from fast food or a pop-up camper where popcorn made has never tasted better, they are all home.  This next Call wants your thoughts on being at home.  Take a look…

Comfort food coincides with wet weather in my house.  I can be dreaming of a Summer salad in the middle of June, and an afternoon thunderstorm can quickly turn my thoughts to potato soup, enchilada casseroles and baked apples.  Maybe a healthier way to channel my feelings about rain would be through this next Call.  Take a look…

OUZO

City life means access to international food.  I’m meant to live in the country.  It is just the way I am wired.  My town has a population of approximately 3500 people.  The downside?  The only thing close to international fare is Thai (which I love), Mexican, Italian & Japanese.  When someone suggests a trip to Asheville (about an hour from me), I start salivating for the taste of goat skewers.  I don’t see bumper to bumper traffic or crowded parking lots or tall office buildings.  That’s my perspective.  This next Call wants YOUR views on city life.  Take a look…

Not every food fad is a good one.  I am still waiting for jalapeno poppers and chicken fingers to go away.  But, if farm to table/plate is a fad, I hope it lasts forever.  I am so inspired by how much better the options are out there.  And if you happen across a town that already prides itself on food, well then you’re in for  a food fantasy.  This next Call explores the food to plate issue in a beautiful format.  Take a look…
