Diced Wool Vegetables and Spools of Sauce Layer Onto Andrea Love’s Fibrous Pizza

 The miniature woolen oven mitt that Andrea Love (previously) uses to pull her handmade pizza from the oven is the only item in her stop-motion tutorial that's true to form. An addition to the Washington-based animator's quirky fare, the short film shows a flattened crust whirling in the air before landing on the tabletop and being topped with fiber-rich ingredients like spools of sauce, mushrooms, black olives, and cheese produced from diced yarn. Dive into Love's world of felt-fueled cooking above, and watch her making-of video to go behind the scenes of her fleece kitchen. (via The Kids Should…

Animated Tutorials Whip Up Fiber-Rich Lemonade and Banana Splits by Andrea Love

 Andrea Love (previously) cooks up some treats just in time for the summer heat, although their woolen ingredients might make them less thirst-quenching than usual. From her miniature kitchen, Love films short stop-motion animations that show her squirting spools of juice to make lemonade or coating heaps of ice cream with a thin line of chocolate yarn.

Six-Year-Old Tulip Navigates a Wooly Garden in a New Animation by Andrea Love

Andrea Love (previously) is back with a new heart-felt animation detailing the journey of a six-year-old girl named Tulip. An adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's Thumbelina, the 8-minute short film will chronicle Tulip's adventures navigating a dense garden after being born from a flower.

The Washington-based artist is collaborating with illustrator Phoebe…
