I love this! It’s a gorgeous video! It’s a stop motion short film, written and directed by Angela Kohler and Ithyle Griffiths. Starring Alison Sudol from A Fine Frenzy. Music is “Sleepwalking” by A Fine Frenzy. There are a few paper cuts in this and they were done by Mr. Yen. And like Cindy from Scherenschnitte, [...]

As I mentioned on Twitter, as soon as I saw the template Cindy posted today, I knew I’d have to try it out tonight. I made one rider into a girl by adding a ponytail. Think of them as twins heading into dinobattle. Heh. Now I have “Wonder Twins, activate” in my head. :P And, [...]

This is an unusual, yet beautifully written postapocalyptic zombie tale that at it’s core is a story of love, sacrifice, and hope. Mary’s world is one of rules. Rules based on commitment and faith guided by the hand of the Sisterhood. Their guidelines keep the town in order…safe from the Unconsecrated that linger outside. You are [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m starting to work my way through two papercraft books. I started with templates for frames and embellishments to add to pictures, scrapbooks, cards, gift bags and boxes. The templates are by Nicole Lombardo and the project is from Paper Cuts.  Here’s a snapshot from the book via [...]

I have never done a book meme before. This one looked interesting, but damn, it’s hard to limit it to one book per question. Ouch! My head hates me for this. What’s a book you most want to read again for the first time?: Chronicle of a Death Foretold: You can never recapture the emotions of [...]

Emma Hack is an Australian skin illustrator, photographer, and sculptor. I love her camouflage body art. The female models blend perfectly into the backdrops. And of course, I adore that she works with animals—especially owls!! :) And here’s a video with glimpses of her in action. And if you watch to the end (or fast forward) [...]
