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

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

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 to be part of an animation, soon.

On that note, I know not all of you are interested in animation. So I'm thinking on the timing of this newsletter, whether I want to continue a weekly rhythm or something else. I don't want my emails to simply be another email filling your inbox. More on that, soon.

But if you're interested and you missed it, here's an animation I created right before Thanksgiving. The ladybugs were made with paper, paint, and ink.

Stay warm!

Thanks for reading!

I loved the original movie so much I've just been waiting for the next one! It's one of the rare movies I'm planning to watch in a theater, with a good friend. Here's the animation: And here's a look inside my...

2 new animations - Copper House North Weekly Roundup

The Weekly Roundup, Ed. 90 24 years of enjoying this sugar maple in our back yard. I took this photo last Friday afternoon and today most of the leaves are piled around its base. Hello! This week I made 2 more stop-motion animations, where I tried a new technique with each one. No matter how many times I watch the pumpkin animation, I start dancing in my chair when the music starts. 😆 This is the most fun I've ever had with a camera. And possibly in all of my creative career. Here's a...
