Animation, Edition 52 🎉 of the Roundup - Copper House North Weekly Roundup

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hello!

I've been looking forward to writing to you this week, as it's the 52nd time I've sent the Weekly Roundup. Yes, it's been a full year! 🎉

Now, if you were with me at the beginning, you know these 52 weeks haven't been consecutive. The majority of my emails have been sent since last spring.

But I'm celebrating the special connection I've had with you through this newsletter, especially in the past year. And I'm grateful sharing with you has become one of my favorite things to do each week.

Thank you for being here!

Animation - Who Knew?

Over the holidays, in addition to carving stamps, I tiptoed into 2D animation. I'd only had limited experience with it beforehand, so it was an exciting undertaking. And one I'm going to keep building on!

You can watch and read about the 4 animations I've made thus far, right here.

I made this little guy move! So fun. Click the snail to see all the animations in action.

5 Weeks Later

You might remember the tiny spike I showed you, in early December, on the orchid that sits in my office. It was just forming and I thought it was a spike (vs. a root). Well, here's what it looks like today! Definitely not a root. ;)

It's been a couple of years since this one has blossomed (we have 2 orchids), so I'm ready. But we'll have to wait a little longer.

Stay warm! ❄️

Thanks for reading!

I almost didn't send this email - Copper House North Weekly Roundup

The Weekly Roundup, Ed. 92 Making art with paper. I recently bought stacks of paper in a rainbow of colors so I can create without limitation. Hello! I almost didn't send this email. It's Friday at 7 a.m. as I write and I normally write my newsletter on Thursday, at the latest. I didn't think I had much to share. But then I remembered that even though this paper snowman may not be "much", he might make you happy. Using paper as an art medium is certainly making me happy! The snowman is going...

Signs of Christmas, a Wicked-inspired animation - Copper House North Weekly Roundup

The Weekly Roundup, Ed. 91 You know it's Christmas-time when the mums are swapped out for festive topiaries and red bows at the grocery store. Hi!

Here's the animation: And here's a look inside my...
