Just a Spoonful of Sugar


8 x 10 inch paper cutting featuring the Brooklyn Bridge, and the wedding date (10.9.10).
Here’s a little something I threw together last night. This is a stop-motion silhouette animation shot at 12 frames per second. That means, for every second of video, I took 12 still pictures… Stop-motion animation is basically a long sequence of still images viewed together in quick succession to make it appear that things are in motion. For every picture taken, you move the objects just a tiny bit.
Again, there shall be more to come. Check out my other animations here: https://ruralpearl.com/blog/?page_id=454


For a birthday gift, featuring the recipient’s home in the background. 8 x 10 inches.

This is a paper cutting of the Kansas Sesquicentennial logo I did during Kansas Day at the Kansas Museum of History that will make it’s permanent home somewhere within the Museum/ Historical Society. You’ll probably be able to find prints and greeting cards of this in their gift shop soon!
Here’s a shot of my lightbox installation at the Lawrence Arts Center at nighttime (pardon my shoddy photograph with arm shake.. no tripod — it looked more clear in person):
