Sometimes it feels as if things are a bit of a struggle.
Still. Today I saw 20 curlews in the field opposite the house … which was lovely.

I hear you’ve been boiling your dream rabbit.
“What? No Mum, I’ve been practising BOILING me line … in my animating. I’m following a young animator kdsketch on YouTube. Her tutorials are really helpful and she uses the same software as me. One of her videos demonstrates creating “a boiling line effect” … a kind of jitter in the animated image. So I’m going to try using it.”
“It’s only just coming up to the simmer so I can’t show you the end result. But I’m going to try boiling these images soon.”
You’re not making any sense you know. “Yup. I do know”
She sees the rabbit for the first time.
The Rabbit Couple.
Two more rough frames.

“That’s it. No more drawings of heads. Time for me to animate something.”
Jolly good, dear. What’s your cartoon going to be about?
“Well I dreamed of a rabbit the other night. It wasn’t in good shape and I picked it up to take it home and look after it. But it grew and grew in my arms, getting heavier and heavier until I could hardly walk…”
A proper nightmare if you ask me.
“Best thing to do with nightmares is to rewrite them.”
Blimey!
“I’m feeling very short-tempered.”
I know. I can see that. Plain as a pikestaff. Look at that gif thing you just made!
Did you draw your shoe cartoon?
“I did. It’s called “Shoe Heaven” and it’s up on the LoopdeLoop site as I speak.”
Aren’t you a clever girl! Are they nice shoes? Can I see them?
“Of course. Here they are.”
“The endless cycle of desire. A pair of new shoes could make my life perfect.”
Go on. Show it to me then. Show me your animation fear loop that broke the Interwebs.
