The following post was sponsored by Plywerk. Our sponsors are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.
Do you have hundreds of photos and digital art squirreled away in a labyrinth of folders on your computer that will never see the light of day? Plywerk provides an easy, sustainable, and tangible solution to get your digital photos and art displayed on the wall where they belong.
Plywerk is a framing alternative with over 25 size options, two wood options, and various print finishes. Mounting your photos and art on Plywerk gives it a fresh clean look that is less expensive than framing. Plywerk comes ready-to-hang and is handmade in Portland, Oregon, by real humans. They are made from bamboo and FSC-certified maple plywood.
If you already have art or a print, you can buy blank Plywerk panels with adhesive and mount the art on your own. You can also buy blank panels and get creative: paint straight onto the panel, use them for mixed media collages, screen-print directly onto them, create an encaustic, etc.
Plywerk is giving one reader $269.11 in Plywerk credit and their Aunt Jan’s scalloped corn recipe. The winner can choose to use the credit towards Plywerk Your Own or blank panels.
Rules: To enter to win the contest you have to answer Plywerk’s question “Guess how many tabby cats my Aunt Jan has to win. Guess one of the cats’ names and we’ll throw in a special 3×3 Plywerk of Aunt Jan herself.”
One comment per person. Contest runs November 16th through November 20, 2009.
Sorry, this giveaway has expired.

Shirley Hodge on 11.16.2009 at 11:32 AM
Well we have 4 cats soon to be 4+? (only time will tell) so will go with that and use their names. Lucky (when a wee one he was found under shrubbery by my neighbor who clipped him with pruning shears), Rainbow (calico), Daphne (just plain sweet with a Daphne sort of face-she is the preggers one and we suspect Lucky is Daddy) and finally Lena who grew up in urban Jersey City, NJ and is now becoming accustomed to rural life in the Pocono Mountains. All are much loved. So I say 4 cats and hope one of the aforementioned names is the right one.
Adam on 11.16.2009 at 11:33 AM
Aunt Jan has seven cats. In keeping with the trend of making as many guesses about their names as their number: Adriaan, Skyler, Margreet, Luna, Garfield, Klolo and Musti.

2 and one of them is named Cat.
April on 11.16.2009 at 13:13 PM
I think she has 5 and one is named Kitty.
Paul on 11.16.2009 at 13:16 PM
She actually has 3 Maltice Terriers – one of whom answers to the name “Oswald” – and because her cataracts are so bad, you’ve never had the heart to tell her.
You’re such a kind soul.

Megan on 11.16.2009 at 14:23 PM
I am going to guess 6 cats (though I can’t believe they are all tabbies). As for names, I am going with Kitty, Snowball, Tabitha, Alice, Gumdrop, and Fred.
Me myself, I have a tabby named Pssst Pssst that we call many names and a Bengal kitten named Yoko who walks on a leash and intimidates most dogs.
Cats are fantastic and entertaining pets.
By the way, I love the idea of these panels. Being an artist, I see many mounting alternatives for 2D work; and this solution is clean and modern. A great way to display just about anything.
If I don’t win, I will make some similar panels myself as homages to your company! Bravo!
Mel on 11.16.2009 at 15:01 PM

Rex on 11.20.2009 at 21:17 PM
Well, given that Aunt Jan is nearly blind, hard of hearing, and rather forgetful, while she thinks she has one tabby, it is in fact a pillow, made of tabby fabric: a fabric with a watered pattern, typically silk. It doesn’t matter how often you correct her, she just doesn’t remember. Or maybe she just doesn’t care. The pillow’s, I mean cat’s, name is Lumpy.
Jayna on 11.20.2009 at 21:47 PM
My guess is 7! Names: Precious, Junior, Tabitha, Tiger, Holiday, Jasper, and Juggernaut. :)
