scraps or SNACKS?

Countertop composting alludes me. We bought the mini-composter, we diligently saved scraps. The problem is that we never have enough green bits. The culprit? The dog. She’s addicted to carrot ends and lettuce spines and broccoli stalks. This next Call wants to hear about your furry, feathered and finned culprits. I love this venue…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Fur, Feathers & Fins. $25 entry, epic jurors & a great show, every time. Take a look…

GALLERY REPRESENTATION: Printmakers

Posted on July 24, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

PRINTMAKERS DESERVE
TO EAT CHEESE!

We always want what we can’t have. I want to live on blue cheese, but my family has explain that it isn’t really an option. Printmakers want shows to enter…and it really should be an option.
