Why on earth are you reading this? Are you looking for something? It seems to me that you probably are and that you chose to come here by subscribing or googling or clicking on a link somewhere. For this I thank you, and I welcome you with a big warm smile. The point is we go looking for 'stuff' on the net, for some images or written inspiration, food for thought. We go blogging on the net to provide such things. I've been thinking about blogs and blogging. Some people told me recently they feel there is a lot of EGO behind a blog. Was I supposed to be affronted or put in my place? I felt I was being criticised for my 'vanity' and for 'wasting' lots of my time. Sheesh (rolls eyes). Actually I am a confident woman who is computer savvy and can type as fast as I can speak - therefore very efficient in how I choose to waste MY time. I feel most blogging stems from an intention to share and discuss things that interest or matter to a person and there are benefits. Oh Lookee, a card from a friend and potter with whom I have developed a very fond friendship - through BLOGGING. Do you recognise the style (hint Adriana Christianson). I didn't ask her permission to show the card but I'm confident she'll be pleased that I kept it and that indirectly I'm directing you to her work, style and name. I came across an interesting post on this potter's blog though, reminding me of the importance to give credit where due and with permission when sharing info about other artists. I think I'd get more bent out of shape if someone used my images or words on a blog that was monetised and allowed the blogger to derive income indirectly through using my intellectual property. Still it is a grey area. I may copy Jesse Lu's disclaimer - except I'd ask her first.
