As a parent who has recently experienced the empty nest, it's pretty darned exciting to have a project that I've been so involved with that it feels almost like my own child. Which, of course, means it's not without its joys or difficulties. The new child however, is a virtual one, my website.
As I mentioned in my last post, it was my goal to create a website that I could manage on my own. To that end I took a class, worked with my friend Chris and finally in the beginning of the Jewish New Year, welcomed my site into the world.
While it was complete in many ways, I still wanted to load some pictures of my recent work, tidy up the blog and transfer my Blogger posts before I made it public.
As they did then, the first few snafus catch me by surprise--like getting caught without extra diapers or wipes in public; but with practice, I've learned how to problem solve. And, like reminding a small child over and over again to pick up their toys, I've tussled with the never-ending chore of cleaning up errant links, and misbehaving formatting.
As with children, there is no stasis, no resting point where the process is over. As I introduce my website, I see it as a work in progress, something that has come a long way, but will continue to develop and grow as I do.
Without further ado, let me introduce my website: Hannah Klaus Hunter, Fine Artist, Textile and Paper Collage
It's gorgeous Hannah! You must feel so proud. Looking forward to watching it - and you - develop!
ReplyDeleteI loved wandering through your home away from home, enjoyed your statement, wallowed in all the glorious colors ..... and am intrigued by Your Foot is no Longer Here. Your website is looking so professional and it's very easy to get into. Congrats Hannah!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patty. I do feel proud. And I think there's something wonderful about being older (no diapers to carry!) and learning whole new swathes of material.
DeleteRobyn--I take that as a high compliment. I know you walked the walk with your Weebly site...Indeed there is a story behind that "Your Foot..."; it refers to a young Indian girl I had the pleasure of working with and who was an amazing artist and artisan.
Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteI'm heading over to your new baby! Congratulations on your hard work.
Also, really love the exuberance of your piece, Quintessence.
Congratulations on your website- it looks great! Your work is gorgeous, rich in pattern, color and symbolism. I'd say your way of coping with the empty nest is much better than mine- I got three dogs!
ReplyDeleteGrazie mille Maddy! And the name for Quintessence came from its birth order in a series of quilts...
ReplyDeleteSharmon--Thank you for your words--I'm still working on the coping mechanisms too. Our cat is getting a lot more loving!
