The End of the Story? or the Beginning...

23/4/2019

When I finished my Grow Wings articulated doll kit, I thought that was the end of the story. 

But I'm realising that, with the creative process, we often don't know just what we're making...It soon occurred to me that in the kit I had gathered all the elements for a basic animation.

Animation really brings out the child in me, so I couldn't resist starting to play...and that playtime ended up lasting a couple of weeks!

​Hope you enjoy the result!

Liked this post? Word of mouth is the main way for indie creators to get known.
I'd be SO grateful if you shared this with someone you think might like it!

That's fabulous, Cherry. I used to love making paper/dress-up dolls when I was younger, and it's a visual that frequently takes up headspace when I reflect on the many and varied faces I project on the world (you know: "Which *me* shall I be today...?")

Doubly lovely that the creating process of your butterfly doll stimulated its now-so-obviously needed animation: a side-shuffle of 2D-into-semi-3D transition (almost phoenix-like; a new life form rising from the ashes of an otherwise completed idea. And this then sparks more artistic fireflies* of its own).

(*Funny: I've just read your blogpost suggesting we put flesh on the bones of our inner muse or source. I thought I didn't have one: my own source was simply an amorphous and faceless part of the inner me I infrequently but gratefully journeyed alongside.

While that still feels right, I now see that within that blissful state - calm + clarity + creativity - I set free my own artistic fireflies. Thank you for sparking that insight x)
