WOW!
I just was nominated for/won the
VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD
Many, many thanks to Cat at Cat's Ceramics. Click on the link to see all the neat stuff she does, especially her glazes.
This is one of the things I am enjoying about blogging. There are connections made around the world. Cat is in Sussex, England; I am in southern Rhode Island, USA....and am becoming part of a whole new (to me) world of potters and their work.
There are THREE THINGS I am supposed to do.
ONE: Thank the award giver and link back to them.
THANK YOU CAT!
TWO: Nominate/award newly discovered bloggers. I see others nominating anywhere from five to fifteen. Since I have only been doing this since September all blogs are new to me. Here are five of my favorites. My decisions were based on drawing names I do have to leave some blogs for others.
Dan Finnegan: danfinneganpottery....wood-fired and salt glazed stoneware
Tracey Broome: The Fifth Floor......a journal in clay....cool barns and buildings incorporating dolls and other found objects.
Cooking With Gas: Cooking With Gas.....pottery and life in Seagrove, N.C.
Linda Starr: Bue Starr Gallery....pinch and slab built shrines, buildings and pots
Lorraine Young:Lorraine Young Potter.....terra cotta animals and people with their own stories
THREE: seven things few or nobody knows about you
Here Goes!
1. My grandmother taught me to knit and crochet when I was seven.
2. I started sewing when I was eleven and began designing when I was fifteen.
3. I was an acting major my first round of college.
4. I have been an obsessive nerd over Lord of the Rings (book and now movie) since 1966.
5. I love keeping up with the Volvo Ocean Race, but am terrified of blue water sailing
6. The first time I did pottery was in 1966. I did it for about three months, moved and always thought of it as a jog in my life until twenty years later, when I wondered why I ever stopped.
7. I still have the very first pot I ever made.
There you have it....again thanks to Cat
Update: Went over to theVBA site and found out a few things.
1. Yes, it is supposed to be fifteen, but you are also supposed to take your time and put in the blogs you want to get into the world...so I am going to post in groups of five.
2. You can download the VBA thingie at VBA....see above.

ReplyDeleteDo enjoy your blog!
Seems I have fallen down the rabbit hole of getting ready for shows. Seems if my fingers are doing something it better be weaving :). So many thanks to those who keep me in the loop of blogging!
