I recently started taking a stop-motion animation class, just because I’ve always been interested in it. We haven’t gotten to the point of actually animating anything yet, but I’ve been especially on the lookout for good examples of it, and I just came across this video for Grizzly Bear’s “Ready, Able” (from one of my favorite albums from last year). It’s a great song and a beautiful (though somewhat creepy) animation.

Here it is, Godfrey’s day to shine!

Unfortunately, this little groundhog was in for a surprise this morning when he poked his head out of his mound to survey the shadow status. A giant furry beast snagged him!

Fortunately the beast just wanted to play, then go eat some cat food. Godfrey was left unharmed, but after that ordeal he can’t remember if he saw his shadow this morning or not.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Have you seen the tiny crocheted wonders of MUFFA? I’ve been following her micro-gurumi genuis on Flickr for a while, so it’s about time I admit tiny-thing defeat!

These are some of my recent favorites.

Insanely small and detailed!

You can buy MUFFA’s crocheted miniatures at her Etsy shop.
