We are all taught from an early age not to judge a book by its cover.  However, nearly every cookbook in my collection got there because of an appetizing photograph on the cover.  A friend that photographs food for a living told me that the looks are often achieved through under cooking, over cooking, shellac, resin and paint.  What a shame that such beautiful food never gets eaten.  But that knowledge does make me feel better about the ugly stuff I serve fairly regularly.  This next Call wants to see your books and challenges artists of ALL media to enter.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (FWCAC from Fort Worth, TX) for BookArt.  A national call for original artist made books in any form or media. You’ve go to give it to them for accepting any form or media in what is usually a very traditional media.  Try on book-making in YOUR media of choice…
