Jenni Rope: Kiipeilypuu / The Climbing Tree from Jenni Rope on Vimeo.

I am so enamored of artist Jenni Rope's beautiful animations lately (I posted her film Yöllä kello kolme / 3 AM recently, as well)!  Here is another animation by Ms. Rope that has my creative muscles itching to be used again.  Her fluid manipulations of material, color, and texture remind me of early Sesame Street clips (and I mean that in a really complimentary way), and her hypnotic films inspire me to dig out all manner of found papers and objects and create my own stop-motion dreamscape.  How about you?  any humble materials lying around the house that you could set in motion?
