Did you know that the chokecherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and thimbleberry (pictured left) ALL grow wild in Minnesota?  I could use some wild berries about now.  My grocery store is getting to that point in the season that only citrus fruit has any taste and you’re best to stay clear of the seemingly gold-plated (based on the price), tasteless berries.  This next Call hails from Minnesota, home of my current berry-envy.  Take a look…

When I think of Detroit, two things immediately come to mind: the KISS song “Detroit Rock City” and cars.  In my warped stream-0f-consciousness, the next leap is from cars to food trucks.  What is the obsession with food trucks?  Is it the continuing air of novelty or the convenience of getting food anywhere you are?  I’m not sure, but I’m glad that it appears it is a food trend that will be sticking around.  This next Call could give you a whole new perspective on Detroit.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Detroit Print Exchange for the time we cannot meet.  The entry fee is only $20, and this is a golden opportunity for printmakers.  Investigate for yourself…

the time we cannot meet

The Detroit Print Exchange is the first of (hopefully many) annual juried art collaborations. Artists are  invited to submit an edition of 25 prints and in turn receive a complete portfolio of 20 prints from all 20 contributing artists.

In truth, the The Detroit Print Exchange is a chance to redefine what it means to be a young emerging artist, to prove that good things really do come in small packages, and to build connections between artists working around the country.

The Challenge is to create an edition of 25 prints in response to the words “ the time we cannot meet”.  Cryptic yet straight forward the words resonate with missed opportunity and honesty. Today is there truly a time when two people cannot meet?  Has technology removed time from how we interact?  Explore, create and redefine.

More than once I have reported my concerns about the sci-fi food of the future as it is predicted to involve printers and replicators.  Scary.   But, I am certain the Victorians were a little afraid of all the gadgets that were exploding onto the culinary scene during their time; however, the apple peeler and refrigerator turned out not to be so scary after all.  We’ll see.  Oddly enough, this next call sort of combines the Victorian with Sci-Fi, no joke.  Take a look…

I suspect you already know I’ve got a little touch of the obsessive compulsive.  But some days, it really rears its head.  My family is trying to be greener, generally speaking, and I find it actually can be cheaper to live this way if you are careful.  My newest pet peeve is people who buy one item in the produce section and feel the overwhelming need to put it in a plastic bag.  You’re going to wash it and/or peel it anyway right?  Why does your single lemon / lime / onion / avocado need a bag?  Who designed this system.  I digress.  This next Call really wants the BEST in design.  Take a look…

coffee for none

My husband is a tea drinker, and it is my fault.  So, I don’t like the smell of brewed coffee.  (I hear the nasty emails being pecked out on keyboards across the world.)  I haven’t drank a cup of coffee in 18+ years.  I think brewed coffee smells like skunk spray.  No joke.  So for a long time, my husband used a French press because the odor was lessened.  But then the plunger on the press broke, and neither of us ordered a new one.  Now, he drinks Earl Grey every morning.  I feel a little bad. (Not really.)  Hobbits like tea, or so we are led to believe.  You figure out how that is connected to this next Call by investigating for yourself…

I eat more cake than I’d like to admit.  In my household, it is most often in the form of cupcakes.  It is not because I prefer the taste or portion control of cupcakes.  But I find that cupcakes are easier to freeze and store.  Did you know that freezing cake (or cupcakes) before they have completely cooled traps some of the moisture in the cake?  It also makes them easier to cut or decorate.  This next Call will test the depth of your taste for the sweet stuff.  Take a look…
