Starts here.
I will try -- if I have time and inspiration -- to complete the one unfinished essay below, and to revise some of the others that are lacking in the latest inspiration. You may have noticed the backwards phenomenon of the Blog Platform: it opens at the end of the story; or more appropriately, at the latest or most recent post of the Blog. While each posted essay is essentially a stand-alone story, there is a general chronology of thought progression in when the stories were inspired and then presented. The same twist of progression will be true as I post newer and newer creations of the ceramics art class. So, if you want to experience the growth of inspiration and the increasing ability to create fine art ceramics, as well as excellent inspirational essays, you must start at the beginning by scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the Blog. You may also take a shortcut by clicking on the oldest archive – September 2005 (see the right hand column near the top of this page).
Also, I never got around to posting all the poetry I wrote for ENGL 311 during the summer session. I may decide to inter-disperse the poetry between postings of ceramics, and I’ll probably want to write more essays, as I go, to tell the story of the inspiration behind the ceramics and the poetry. I also intend to post some A++ term papers that I wrote for my other course studies in various Faith Traditions of the world, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and a half dozen smaller vehicles of religion including witchcraft and magic; and I have some papers on concepts and ideologies of religious studies and philosophies and other related subjects like anthropology, sociology and astronomy. As I consider the layout and structure of this Blog, I may do well to keep some genre of my creative works grouped together with like kind. As BlogSpot archives the postings according to month, I should be able to edit the dates of the postings to cause each creative genre to be grouped together as in chapters. I might even be able to figure out the source code (the html computer language) and change the names of the month/year into chapter names.
HERE (this post) will probably begin Chapter Three – The First Potter’s Wheel Pieces. I will be referring my eBay customers to this Blog as an historical and information record of the pieces they are buying. I hope to make this Blog the first step of the eBay process, displaying the pieces here to generate interest, and then posting them on eBay. I will also try to figure out how to use PayPal on BlogSpot. In the meantime, if you see something you like leave a comment here (notices go to my Towson University email) or write to me directly at
The dispositions of most of my first 20 some pieces have already been determined as family Christmas gifts, and a few have already been given away as Thanksgiving gifts to the people who help me conduct the worship services at the nursing home. I am an ordained Christian minister of the Cyber Church Café. Of course, I’ll have to write several chapters about the C.C. Café. Right now I am overwhelmed with end-of-semester homework, term papers and preparing for exams. So, let me conclude this introduction to this chapter with a picture of the most of the pottery that I have not given away just yet. Only few of these pieces will be listed on eBay at the end of this semester. I am buying the Café a potter’s wheel for Christmas and hopefully I will have time then to make a whole bunch more.
