I am always astonished when I see the number of plates already on the site, and I just realised that plate #200 is fast approaching. So how about a small contest for #200: You send me, in the comments on this site, the url to your favorite plate (see rules below), and the winner will receive one of my own hand painted plates (above). That entry will be posted as plate #200.
I'm happy that my good friend, Karen Templer, has agreed to judge the contest. As she says, Karen earns her living making beautiful books. She was also the proprietor of Readerville.com, the best community site for people who care about books and ideas. Sadly, Readerville suspended operations on June 5th.

Thank you so much for all of the nice notes you have left me. I'm just amazed by the beautiful work I find online, and updating this site is a privilege.
(Update: The contest prize plate has been changed from this to the one above, and I've organized the rules below to make things a little easier)
Rules:
1. We need an url for the image of the plate, name of the artist and (if possible) any production information
2. We'll accept submissions for bowls and platters
3. The plate must not have been published before on this site
4. It's totally fine to plug your own plate. Go for it :)
5. Multiple submissions are fine
6. The contest will close at midnight (Pacific) on Thursday, July 16th.
