Learn more about the Cones and Rods exhibit from Whitdel Arts!

sugar or cake CONES?

I am addicted to cones of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate.  More accurately, I love the chocolate dipped diary, not the cone, but I have great respect for the edible nature of this delivery system.  Why don’t we have more edible packaging?  I don’t know either.  (BTW, no, I do NOT want to know about the probably-scary, chemical explanation for why dipping chocolate hardens.  Ignorance is bliss.)  This next Call is all about cones (and rods), but of the photoreceptor quality.  I’ve shown work at this venue, and I can’t wait to see this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from Whitdel Arts (Detroit, MI) for Cones & Rods. $15 Entry & 33% commission, plus this theme is open to all media and wide interpretation. Take a look…

GROCERY greenbacks

I have cut my own grocery budget in an effort to force myself to adapt to cooking for two instead of three.  A small budget forces me to look for smaller portions of things bought by the pound like produce, cheese & meat.  But once a month, I tack on a $50 to allow for a treat or two.  That $50 makes all the difference.  This next Call invites you to find out what an extra $5,000 art budget could do for you.  Investigate this opportunity because the deadline is just around the corner…

Long before I dreamed of having a full time studio practice, I wanted to be a restaurant reviewer.  I wanted someone to pay me to eat food and talk about.  I got an English degree; I went to culinary school.  I abandoned the idea of capturing one of those ridiculously small number of jobs.  I still eat a lot of food, and I still talk about food more than most people.  This next Call offers us the opportunity to have your work reviewed.  Take a look…

slow BURN

Four days out of seven find my family eating spicy foods.  Before I quit smoking five years ago, I suspected my tolerance for spicy food came from my deadened taste buds.  But after years as a non-smoker, we eat more hot food, not less.  However, I’m not usually a fan of overtly fiery foods; I prefer the slow burn that simmers just below the surface.  I frequently start dinner thinking “this needed more heat” and end the meal with a flush having creeped up my scalp.  This next Call wants to know what is layered just below the surface of your work.  Take a look…

one EGG or two?

Simplicity can be a gift.  Sometimes what I want to eat has less to do with a craving and more to do with the ease of preparation.  When I’ve had a productive day, a drawn-out night of cooking weighs me down.  Sometimes an egg sandwich is just an egg sandwich; sometimes an egg sandwich is a gift.  This next Call see the transformative effect of art on our reparative health as a gift.  Take a look…

cha-cha-cha-CHIA

Now that it is warmer outside, I find myself turning to lighter food for breakfast.  My “go to” is often yogurt and fruit, but the downside is that I will often be hungry again long before lunchtime arrives.  My solution is to add a few chia seeds.  They pack a punch of energy while letting me have a “light” breakfast.  Next?  This Call is all about exploring the lighter side.  Take a look…

new SPINACH leaf

My diet has been less than ideal for the past month.  I’ve been stress eating all the cheese and fried food I can get my hands on lately, and surprise, I’m feelin’ kinda crappy.  I started this week on a positive note though.  I’m turning over a new leaf this week, well lots of new leaves — spinach leaves, among other foods that support health and uplift my mood.  Hopefully the tide will turn on the “yucks”.  This next Call is looking for work to put in an uplifting position, in a literal sense.  Take a look…

my CREME-filled heart

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary with Chinese takeout because neither of felt like cooking or grocery shopping.  It was our typical night egg drop soup & steamed dumplings, but the thing that made the night a celebration came in a paper bag.  A beautiful, fresh chocolate eclair from our local doughnut shop, a guilty pleasure from the middle years of our marriage when that was one of the only splurges we could afford.  Since then, I tend to watch my sugar intake and my husband was diagnosed with a wheat allergy.  But with a that single damn-the-consequences pastry, I felt the heart flutter that says he’ll stick for another twenty.  Some of the best things come in, or on, paper just like in this next Call.  Plus the gallery is gorgeous…
