happy march, fabulous folks!
thought we'd start things off in the best possible way: something superfun to do!
a great intro-animation site for youngins AND a wonderful little pick-me-up for all of our day-to-days, bennetton play (yes - of the bennetton) offers superfun online DIY projects, my superfave being the FLIPBOOK deluxe.
incase you haven't had the fun of it yet, just head here: no need to even login to play. with (or without!) a little one, you can easily build online mini-animated flipbooks (of up to 100 pages) - little rikrak and i joyfully worked on many! - here's one of rikrak that we did in about 3 mins and about 10 frames.
when you're making your animation: you can also copy from the page before to get an exact match of a drawing (it's the last function on the right side under the drawing box) OR simply see a pale image on your next page to help guide you of where to place your next drawing.
little rikrak LOVED it!
and the best part - you can instantly *animate* them and watch your creations come ALIVE! delightful!
it was a great learning for both of us about the amazing world of animation.
{and after little rikrak went to sleep - mr. rikrak and i found it endlessly entertaining, too! woohoo!}
so have fun!
and add your links below so i can see what you came up with! :)
once you're done that - two other fun things to do today on the blog:
1. last day to enter and WIN the tickled pink knits custom bracelet/cuff giveaway.
and
2. still a day or two to submit your 2-part ensembles for the ACADEMY AWARDS red carpet! i'll be showcasing them later this week!
yay you!
happy handmaking, nicies!
