Moving house, figuratively

I am going to move my blog over to my own domain, so that I can offer fun things like downloads from there instead of having to find a hosting solution to do it from here. I am not sure if I will move my old posts from here over, we will see!

To celebrate, I'm kicking things off over there with a free download! Go check it out!

Sita Sings the Blues

I just watched the most enchanting, amazing movie. And it's free - it's under a Creative Commons license, so you can download it for free (but I am so buying a copy on DVD!). It's called Sita Sings the Blues. It's a retelling of the Ramayana, and the movie is a mix of animation styles that seem like they shouldn't work in one movie, but they do! I just love it - watch it!

The whole time I was watching it, I was doodling the Blues Sita (you'll see) in my notebook. She is going to end up in my art journal, I adore her!

You can watch the movie on YouTube or on Archive.org (or download it!). Here it is on YouTube:



Here's a link to the "official" site: http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/

The movie on Archive.org: http://www.archive.org/details/Sita_Sings_the_Blues

I'd recommend watching it on Archive.org, the quality there is better.

Enjoy!

Ravelry Pattern Update

I apologize to anyone who has been trying to get my crochet and knitting patterns via their entries on Ravelry. I let my domain name lapse, and apparently it's been pornified. I have made them available as free PDF downloads directly on Ravelry, and sent in a request to let me edit my own patterns (for some reason I lost the ability at some point) so I can remove the old links.

You can find the patterns via this link:
