What’s in a name?
Bykaterattray February 21, 2011

I find that choosing a suitable name for my mosaic artworks is just as important as the piece itself. It makes the story whole. The process I use for this choice often starts with a working title, first thought of at the same time as the first sketch. When the mosaic is complete (or during…

Passage – my exhibition
Bykaterattray April 15, 2010

Next week I am having a break from the lion whilst I set up my exhibition “Passage” at Bath Artists Studio Gallery. I like the gallery, it is large (enough for all my work) and light. At the same time I will be running workshops. I did this last year and it worked well, it…

Sweat and Tears – part 9 – decision time!
Bykaterattray July 21, 2011

I spent several hours trying to decide what tile to use for the background of my sculpture. I originally thought I might use transparent glass onto coloured adhesive and the colour would change gradually from a dark brown skin tone to a pale pink. But I scrapped that idea when I thought about how it…

Roll Up For The Greatest Show On Earth!
Bykaterattray February 2, 2015

Yesterday evening just before the sun went down I managed to close shop at Somerset Crafts down on the Avalon Marshes in Somerset in time to see thousands and thousands of starlings swooshing over the gallery and on down to the heath. This happens every year at about this time and we have many visitors…

‘Birds of omen dark and foul, Night-crow, raven, bat, and owl, Leave the sick man to his dream – All night long he heard your scream’ from an Ancient Gaelic Melody by Sir Walter Scott As early man was fearful of the night it is not surprising that ancient stories depict the owl as a…

Onions and mosaic
Bykaterattray November 30, 2009

My partner cut up the onions and as he was frying them he told me to take a look as they looked like my birds in “Dawn Breakers. ” Quite a good likeness don’t you think?

Wow! Hi is such a handsome guy! I love the final video. I had guessed his name to be Zion so was wrong! You must be so proud and sad to have him go.

Thank you for dropping by my blog and letting me know about the video. I’ve always admired mosaics, but have never seen one made, so the video was fascinating and fun. As it played, I couldn’t help thinking it was like a great big 3D puzzle and then I noticed the name of the music! I think Zillion is going to have loads of admirers. If you don’t mind I’d like to put a link in my blog to your post with the video on it. Congrats on a fantastic looking Lion.
