Flip Book of the Rings!

Before

I was really lucky to be able to take part in Andymation’s Flipbook Fest 2025! This year Flipbook Fest has taken the form of creating a Flipbook version of Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring. Absolutely crazy!

All the clips were claimed super quick, but I eventually managed to get one after some had been unclaimed. My clip is 107 frames, 107 individual drawings! It’s of the fellowship entering the mines of Moria for the first time. One of my (many) favourite parts of the film.

BTW Did I mention I’m a massive LOTR nerd?!

They’re my absolute favourite films of all time. I went to see them all in the cinema when they came out and I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched them at home. Basically I love these films and as soon as I found out about this project I knew I’d have to do it! I literally didn’t even care what clip I had, I just wanted to be part of it.

After

I made a short video about making my Flipbook, which includes my finished Flipbook. Hope you like it!

My little model wearing her cute red polka dot red dress I made and a crochet cardigan. She loved doing twirls and showing off in her little outfit.

I do have another blog post about the little red dress so I hope to post that soon!

Feeling Nostalgic

Looking back through some of my old posts, I saw this picture of my old little sewing nook in our old house in Cardiff and really miss having this little space of my own to be able to sew and craft whenever inspirado takes me ❤️
