Stop motion research :o)

Being un-techy, stop motion is an alternative  way on animating that I really like, and that I am more like to be able to use to make something maybe even a little bit impressive (i hope :P).

Wares..

Within the next year we have two exhibitions with uni where we're expected to sell/show our work and wares. Having such a long summer break, I've challenged myself to get ahead of the game now by using this time to experiment and make some things while i'm relaxed and the pressure's off. I'm hoping if this plan works out well, by the time the sales roll around (at least the first one in December) I should have enough stock together -maybe with some spare!- to make the most of the opportunity, and perhaps even make a few pounds!!

With that in mind, here's what i've made in the last few days: 

I really like them!

    

I am reading...

Newest magazine discovery.... Mollie Makes...mMMmmmmmMMmmm!!

With the tag lines "living and loving handmade" and "for people who love the crafty life" it was never a question of IF i would buy it..more a question of when (straight away when I saw it.. if you're wondering! :P). Living up to high expectations, I am about to embark on making the "flower felt kit" that came with this months edition -YEY!- maybe spilling over into a "crafternoon" (adding to favourite words list, courtesy of Mollies Makes :P). 

In my eyes and on my shelves Mollie Makes is not so much a rival to Oh Comely (the original craft magazine fetish :P) as its partner in crafty crime! I like to think that when i'm out of the house they sit on the shelf together and conspire ways to seduce my money and bring me into an even craftier life :P. The best bit of this is that they needn't really bother, as to quote Jerry Maguire, they had me from hello.  


Happy crafting! :)
