Hello to my friends in the association, and to those I have yet to meet! I will be attending the meeting Monday, and look forward to getting my toe in the water again.
Since I have permission to blog here, I thought I would take the opportunity to do just that. I like the idea of a place where the artists can pop in and share. I like the idea of not actually writing in my own blog. It seems easier to come in here and chat to a group of which I have some faces to connect to, at least to get started.
For those who aren't familiar with me, I am Denise Morris, of Morris Pottery, Ogilvie , MN. Paul and I settled here in 1984 to build our pottery and live close to nature. I like to say settled because it brings to mind our pioneer ancestors, and our journey has been very similar as we moved to our land and began to build. Also our first two years of marriage had been spent in transit with no roots. We built our kiln first, and lived in a camper trailer, and carried our water in for seven years, until Lily was born, and we had to get more civilized. A lot happened after the birth of our daughter. We got a telephone, running water, and we formed a partnership with another potter, and started a small production pottery.
Well more about our pottery as well as our history can be found at www.paulmorrispottery.com our website. I try to keep our local events posted there.
I have my own blog http://greenswampgazette.blogspot.com/
I would love to hear from those in the group that have online presences and maybe we should compile a list of those sites. I am interested to hear how others view the uses of the blog!
Thank you to Becky who posted the request from Trisha Vilen, Bob Briscoe's neighbor. If anyone has something to lend or donate, I will pick it up at the meeting Monday.
I have a bad link in the above post and can't find where to edit, if I can here is my blog

Great introduction Denise! Thanks for posting. You should see a little tool icon at the bottom of your own posts. You can edit them by clicking on that. I'll add the link to your blog in the sideline. Anybody else have a blog link they would like listed?
ReplyDeleteOops, it's not a tool icon there, it's a pencil icon. The tool icon is for other parts of the blog. Sorry about that! And the only thing I see on the comments is a little trash can (to delete your own comments).
ReplyDeleteAlso wanted to say I LOVE that photo you shared. What life it has! We're all suffering from spring fever these days and that sculpture really says Joy and Spring to me. :-)
Thanks Becky, learning as I go, I posted and update on my art student.
