Together We Grow

Bykaterattray August 14, 2013

As I watched the sun go down over the hill one evening, it shone directly through the middle of a tree in the distance. It seemed as if it had burnt a hole right through the tree and the leaves around it gradually changed colour from orange to green. The photo I took didn’t reveal…

Where the Leaves Meet

Bykaterattray May 31, 2013

Lying on the forest floor looking up at the tops of the trees, the sun shining through fresh green leaves was the inspiration behind this piece. I made several colour drawings using the same design, however I struggled with the green, finding the right shade and how to work it into the design without it looking like a football!…

Voices of the Wind Exhibition

Bykaterattray May 13, 2013

It is 14 days into my exhibition “Voices of the Wind” at Somerset Crafts so I thought it would be a good time to share some photos of it with you. Apart from my four new pieces (in previous posts), I have selected some of my past work dating back to 2006 that fits in well…

The Day I Blew Up My Hard-Drive!

Bykaterattray December 4, 2012

The Embrace

Bykaterattray March 14, 2012

My sun and tree mosaic is finished. I had to redo the leaves because I originally made them onto glass that I cut slightly bigger than the leaf parts laid onto it. I did this as a way to make the grout line around the leaves quite thick, however it just resulted in looking clumsy….

Thank God for Chocolate Coins!

Bykaterattray February 28, 2012

You won’t believe the trouble I had trying to find suitable gold foil for the underside of my sun! In the previous post I showed you the transparent smalti laid onto some gold foiled tape. I thought this is the stuff I would use, I have a big reel of it, however it is sticky,…

The Tree

Bykaterattray February 3, 2010

Stop motion mosaic animation. This is a “raw scrapbook” version. “The Tree” questions man’s relationship with nature. The song “niebo placze” is Polish and means “the sky is crying”. This was a bonus as I chose it first for the music which seemed to fit the animation so perfectly. It is best played in HD…
