Sweat and Tears – part 7 – or Buttering a Giant Ryvita and Eating It!
Bykaterattray July 18, 2011

If you have been following my project progress for my Olympic sculpture “Sweat and Tears” , you might remember I mentioned the alarming noise when installing the mosaic tears to the form. Because of the curved shape of the tears the tiles make a cracking sound when pushed into the tile adhesive. I have made…

Venetian journeys
Bykaterattray September 18, 2010

I have been in bed all week following an “excavation” on my wisdom tooth (at least it felt like she was excavating). The dentist took half an hour to pull it out, she had to cut my gum and I had 3 stitches. That’s the first time I have had stiches in my life! The pain…

Swallows and Goldfinches
Bykaterattray July 12, 2018January 5, 2020

Goldfinches I absolutely love the voices of Goldfinches, just like tiny little tinkling bells, and have you noticed that they also sing when they fly, so they fly in a sort of up and down rhythm that makes them look quite comical like a Disney cartoon! The Goldfinch is a symbol of life, exuberance and…

Rejected!
Bykaterattray June 11, 2011

I got the postcard on Thursday – both pieces of work stamped with the word "unplaced" which I suppose is a politically correct way to say "rejected"! I went to collect the work on Friday with my friend. A lady ushered us through the gallery where most of the selected work was on the walls,…

Hi Kate,
Enjoyed this, main looking good…and don’t they just. One of my students is my dental hygienist, and I often tell her that’s what I should have done!!!

I was asked to remove my lion wips from flickr but have to say your video looks more professional than my snapshots.

Good luck with it…it will be fab as always
Helen
