Long before blogging was popular, I had a website showcasing my art. It worked well; I could post pictures of my latest pieces and sell items via my site.

Yet as often happens to those with best intentions, I left the website on idle as I juggled a part-time job, three teenage boys, an overworked husband and a dog. With complete naïveté I thought my pages would just hang out on the internet clouds until I got back to them. Ha! Nope. Due to this neglect, my “domain name” expired and was scooped up by a very cruel pirate. Now, joanpotterthomas.com is a site devoted to, as best I can tell, a Japanese company selling butt acne cream. I am not kidding–go ahead and look.

Sooooo…..I am moving on. With encouragement from family and friends, I have decided to blog about my latest project. I am approaching this as an annotated photo album for my own benefit (to document where the hours go!) as well as a way to keep those not willing or able to wade through the detritus in my basement to see why I never return phone calls or respond to the doorbell.

I hope the fun I have shows up on these pages.
