A HOME FOR OUR ART WORKS / WORK IN PROGRESS
Mattie and I potato stamp carving, three years ago.
I haven’t posted anything here for nearly a week. Bad bad me. But I was too occupied with another project and had no time to write a post. This new project! Well, it is not so new in fact. When Mattie and I got together more than three years ago, while we were carving potato stamps for fun, we came up with an idea of building a website together where we can show everything we ‘make,’ including the potato stamp prints we were making at that time. We discussed the possible names of the site, what it’d be like, how nice it would be, but it never went further than words, and we soon stopped talking about it. Then few months ago, we started talking about it again, and this time, we are actually making it real : )
I’ve been working on and off since February to build the site. By the way, this is the reason why I started fiddling with WordPress, and got addicted playing with WordPress, which got me to build my portfolio website and this very blog recently. The function of our website is to house everything we ‘make.’ This includes art works, but often, things we enjoy making are not clearly art nor design, but lay somewhere in between. We’d like this site to be a home for all of them. I’m especially hopeful and excited about this, because along with our brand new studio space, it will encourage us to make more things we like to make.
This past week, we’ve been busy taking photos of our works that will go on our website in our new studio space. It was quite painful to hammer nails on a newly painted white wall, but Mattie reminded me that this is why we made the studio space in the first place. Yes, he is the wise one ; )
The website is nearly finished now, and here’s a blurry sneak peek of our website : ) I hope we can launch it very soon. I can’t wait to show it to you all! Happy weekend!
