My favorite children's animation

Growing up in Sweden in the 70’s there were some amazing stop action animation children’s shorts coming out of Russia and Germany. My favorite was “Drutten och Krokodilen” (swedish title) This is where my love for stop action animation came from. You’ll find more information here.

Here is a bit of that beautifully animated and designed series…

Feeling uninspired? Look at nature!

These guys are just the sweetest. You just can’t get more design-y than the spots on a giraffe. Don’t you just love nature? This was a shot taken by my husband at Safari West in Napa, California. What an adventure.





An exciting time of change.

We want the change to come and yet we also want things to remain comfortable- or the same. I have been creating a lot of movement in the past year, most of it inspired by difficult times. I have to admit that it has been scary at times- putting myself “out there”.

Ultimately I think change is good.

Blogs have changed the way that we communicate with each other and it expands the connections we have with like minded individuals. Generally the blogging community is supportive and embracing of all types of folks. No matter how different you are there is someone out there like you. It is good to know that we are not alone because we are social beings. 

The point of this blog entry is: Thank you for visiting my blog, thank you to those who create their own blog and giving of your creative selves, and helping me find and share inspiration.
