Coraline


Neil Gaiman is one very creepy and brilliantly talented man. He originally wrote Coraline in 2002, it won numerous awards. Not only was Coraline beautifully captured, a truly amazing stop-motion animation, but it also hits home in the crafting community.

The first scene, gorgeous close ups, the process of sewing the Coraline doll, beautifully archaic tools known to most crafters, construct a Coraline replica. In order to generate more buzz for the film, they actually sent out boxes to 50 blogs including some of the set of the movie!!

Coraline was a creepily beautiful story, captured magnificently, kind of like a preserved swallow-tail butterfly.
