I remember when I first read Coraline. I was little, and it had just been released. I've always been interested in "creepy" sorts of things, so that book was right up my alley.  Years and years later, the movie Coraline came out.  Once I saw that it was done in stop-motion, I fell even more in love with the story.  Laika has been a huge inspiration to me even when I'm not piddling around or thinking of stop-motion dolls or ideas. However "Out."  is a work in progress idea that I would like to continously work on and maybe one day turn it ionto a short film.  Right now I'm just playing with figures and movement.  

 

I've always had a knack for working on a really small scale. I used to make super small books for my sculpture pieces when I was in highschool, so sewing things this small is no trouble for me. (Especially with all that Barbie doll dress making practice my Granny gave me.)

 

This gallery is a collection of the props and dolls and whathaveyou that might go into me making "Out." including several in-progress shots.
