clean your PLATE

Eating is a roving action at my house.  Sometimes breakfast is consumed at the kitchen counter.  Lunch often ends up as a living room picnic.  If I’m lucky, dinner is eaten at the kitchen table twice per week, and it isn’t because I love eating on the go.  The reality is, my tabletop is generally covered by paperwork that should be on my desk or art that should be in my studio space or music equipment undergoing cleaning or repair.  Tonight it holds a prom tuxedo (don’t ask).  I need a more functional tabletop landscape –just like this next call.  The deadline is rapidly approaching…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Art League (Alexandria, VA) for The Tabletop Exhibit. $35 entry & not restricted to ceramics.  The deadline is MAY 6th.  Don’t miss this…
