First! I've update my website, nancymuller.com, which is now powered by Blogger. Hooray! Anyway, it is ridiculously convenient and I like it, so I hope you do too.
And Second! I finally put up the fish animation that I mentioned in my very first blog post. It was an in-camera stop motion experiment, and the lighting and color are terrible, so please forgive me! Anyway, it was a good time. I still have all the bits, so maybe I'll revisit it someday with a new approach. Here it is:
I've also posted all my other little animations to flickr, in the animation set.

Puppets!
I've always been very interested in puppets, and have been set on making one for quite a while now. After a lot of research online, looking at various tips and tutorials, I finally got around to it.
His name is Tuck!
Tuck is actually my second attempt at puppet making. I had drawn up a ton of designs and bought new materials and was making excellent progress, but about 3/4 of the way through I got frustrated with the results I was getting, so I put the puppet on hold. I was trying too hard to achieve a certain look and shape, and just didn't know enough to get what I wanted. I took a break, used what I learned on the first attempt to start a new puppet (Tuck), and decided to come back to it later with fresh eyes. It isn't yet finished, but now that I have taken some time away from it, I have ideas for a new direction that I am pretty excited about.
Anyway, while working on that one, I took some pictures of my progress along the way:

Paintin'
Alright, alright, we won't waste time talking about why I was missing for so long. Please forgive me -- I am here now, and I come bearing gifts! As promised, they are not from my sketchbook, for a change.
Dancing in the Night:
Watering the Flowers:
Also, I have updated my Flickr with a new Illustration set. Here's a piece from a long time ago (almost a year now) that I never got around to putting up, though I've always meant to. It's a follow up to Secrets. Click on it to go to the Flickr page and go to all sizes, where you can view it much larger indeed.
Telephone:
More later, and soon!
