MaricorMaricar, MIAF and Moving Blogs

MM&M! Lots of m's in that heading.

After trying to work out how to transition to a new blog i am finally moving over to my new blog which is here ( I didn't really work out anything just stuck a picture on my sidebar saying i was moving!).

I have also been busy over at The Creative Haven (my other blog)  which focuses on stop motion animation in Australia. We had an awesome interview with the amazing MaricorMaricar about their processes and inspirations and coming up we have a few interviews with some of the stop motion entrants in the Melbourne International Animation Festival which starts on 19th June.

So farewell to busybird blog! and come visit me at http://www.carlyaltreewilliams.blogspot.com/ or http://www.thecreativehaven.blogspot.com/

I know I said I wasn't going to post here anymore but well I am! for the moment anyway.  I wanted to let you know what is happening over at The Creative Haven. As mentioned previously we had a bit of a blog makeover - and have turned it into a blog about stop motion animation in Australia.

We have our first interview up with Malcolm Turner & Helen Gibbins from the Melbourne International Animation Festival here. Please come visit and check out all the great stop motion coming up at the festival - very exciting!

Stay tuned as we also have some other awesome interviews coming up!

Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan Tour

This is very exciting news - I had to share that Mark Lanegan (of Queens of the Stone Age fame) and Isobel Campbell (of Belle and Sebastian fame) will be coming out to Australia for Splendour in the Grass and also doing their own sideshows!

Here is one of their earlier tracks. Have been waiting for this for a long time!

Jumper Makeover

I truly have also been making things and not just playing with my old toys! I found this beautiful knitted jumper at an op-shop for Audrey but the neck was way too small so decided to make a cardigan out of it for her for winter.  Below are some process shots.

and the final results:



80's Flash Back - Final Installment

The final installment to my 80's flashback posts - Gem Dolls and Cabbage Patch Dolls.  I of course had the Misfits (badies) cause they were way cooler than Gem. I can't remember the name of my cabbage patch doll it was something like Freda Marie but I might be confusing that with my sisters one!
