Updates.

Hello, world!

My summer has been lovely and I feel as though I am making great progress in the exploration of new materials. I have been fusing plastic shopping bags into large tapestries, although I am not sure what kinds of scenes I will put on them. I am also working on a ceramic bag installation project (image of a finished bag above.)

I am trying to make this blog look nice, but it is taking much longer than expected. I am also working on my portfolio website at katattack.org, and it's looking good also!

I am currently taking ceramics and undertaking a few very interesting projects!

ready to be bisqued!

Glazing.... (this is actually a different bag from the one above.)

Finished after glaze firing. How lovely!

Here are some images I took of my in-progress fox/wolf cloak project thingy! The nose is a bit too small, but at least it no longer looks like a pig's head like it did when I started it on Friday!

sorry about the cell phone pictures! I'll get better ones in the future hopefully!

The fox/wolf cloak piece is going to go with my coat of many colors picture. I am planning on making a plaster mold of the cloak and then using paper pulp as the final product. I am really happy with it so far, especially since it is my first adventure in making something (with my hands!) out of clay. also, it looks much nicer in person. I will take really nice pictures of the finished product when I'm done.

Please enjoy my website, and the blogging updates to come.

Back on the web!

So, inspired by recent posts on http://whitneys-pottery.blogspot.com/ (this artist's life), I decided to renew my domain name, katattack.org, so that I can have a nice portfolio to show people. Lately I've been writing a lot more about my work and also documenting it. I think that in order to keep that going I'll need a place to publish stuff about it besides facebook, which really only provides a distraction from what I should be doing: working and documenting my work.

But the funny part about updating my domain name is that it was actually set to expire today! I had no idea until I logged in.

So, katattack.org will see another year! It only cost me $11 and I have hooked myself up with a free hosting service with no ads, so I'm feeling great about it! I'm going to start re-photographing a lot of stuff tomorrow, and putting more of what I've written in my journal into more polished terms.

I will also be making this blog look a little cooler.

I'm not that much older and I feel like I'm outgrowing this design.
Or lack of design!

Haha!
