IT'S FRIDAY! Time to shake your booty. Oh aye.

A 4 second clip of Fred Astaire wearing a tuxedo and dancing on stage. A simple drawn animated figure dances on the left, sort of following Sinatra's move, but with a little more chaos. A rainbow appears and disappears behind the animated dancer.

Here we go! To celebrate the weekend here's the crossover you never knew you needed; the Friday dancers & Myfanwy!

As ever have a good weekend if you possibly can 😃

#FridaySparklyDancers #MyfanwyAndFriend #sillyScribbles #animation

A short animated loop. In the centre is a teal & cream knitted chicken, on either side of her simple drawn figures. The figures are doing something resembling the chicken dance, flapping their arms and kicking their feet up behind them. The chicken joins in with some gentle bouncing and leg kicks. They are standing in an illustrated wood scene, adapted from artwork for the long gone Glitch game, and pleasingly put into the public domain. There is a dirt floor, with a pink cherry tree on the right, a large pine tree on the left, and many more in the distance. There are wee shining stars popping in and out of existence in the wood.

Many years ago there was an art show for kids on UK TV which would show a gallery of viewers pictures while playing Left Bank Two. When I got to a year of dancers I thought I should at least put them to music once, but finding something to fit them all would be impossible, so I thought I'd make a musical gallery with that vibe.

Here it is. A year of Fridays & some easy listening.

As ever, have a good weekend if you possibly can.

A hand drawn animated video. A rainbowappears and disappears on screen with sparkly ends as the title screen reads: Project #FridaySparklyDancers. Sparkles and rainbows and groovy moves. Initial target: add a dancer every Friday until I run out of space. Secondary target: may as well try and do it for a year now..." Easy listening music comes in and a series of 52 clouds drift by, some going left, some right. Each has a rainbow appearing and disappearing, and a single dancer doing their unique and occasionally inexplicable moves. Each cloud has a number, showing which week they were the dancer for. At the end the copy reads "Have a good weekend if you possibly can" with the word good also surrounded by the words sparkly, wonderful, funky, joyful, splendid and relaxing.

WE MADE IT TO A YEAR!!!

Every Friday for the last 52 weeks I have added a new dancer to the canvas. I now claim my crown as Queen of Pointless Projects & hope that you all have a splendid weekend, if you possibly can 👑

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 52 simple figures each doing their own dance move. The main body of the screen is teal, with a cloud framing the top and across the bottom. 49 dancers are on the top cloud, quite small, doing their thing. The new dancer for this week is larger, and centre stage on the cloud at the bottom, with a dancer either side for company.

It's Friday! YAY!

It's getting increasingly difficult to fit all the dancers on to the screen & make loops that fit with ALL THE OTHER LOOPS (it totally stuffed the timing for this one) so next week will be the last, when I hit a year (!)

I like having a Friday Thing though, so will do #FridaySparklyDanceParty any week there are volunteers, & probably just random dancers on other weeks.

As ever, have a great weekend if you possibly can 😃

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 51 simple figures each doing their own dance move. The main body of the screen is an orange starburst sky, with a rainbow framing the top. 48 dancers are on the lines of the rainbow, doing their thing. The new dancer for this week is larger, and centre stage on a cloud at the bottom, with a dancer either side for company.

Week 43 of the Friday Dancers falls on the Easter weekend, so it felt appropriate to go for a springy bunny hop today.

However you celebrate the long weekend (or, indeed, if you don't celebrate at all) I hope you have a lovely one.

And of course, here's to a very good Friday.

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 43 simple figures each doing their own dance move. They stand one clouds against a bright blue sky. The new dancer for this week is centre stage on the larger front cloud. They have bunny ears, and are doing something resembling the bunny hop dance. A rainbow appears and disappears perpetually behind them. They have 3 dancers either side of them, and 8 bouncing smiling red and orange flowers. Two distant clouds contain the other 36 dancers.

Time to do the Friday dance of FREEDOM!

(yes, I am doing it early this week, I'm in need of the weekend so am declaring it open perilously close to lunchtime)

As usual have a good weekend if you possibly can 😊

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 41 simple figures each doing their own dance move. 38 of them are mingling about on a single large cloud in the background. In the foreground is the new dancer for this week with 2 companions. Sparkly rainbows appear and disappear on both clouds.

It's checks notes FRIDAY!!!

Been a weird old week here, but hoping for a return to normality over the weekend. As ever, the 40 (FORTY?!) Friday dancers & I wish you a splendid weekend, if at all possible.

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 40 simple figures each doing their own dance move. 39 of them (one from each week I've done this) are on a single large cloud in the foreground. Above them is the new dancer for this week, larger and on their own cloud. Sparkly rainbows appear and disappear in each top corner and across the back of the smaller cloud.

It's the weekend! Yay!

We've made it to week thirty-five, and I didn't expect them to be attempting the can-can but it's all about self expression. If that's what they want to do, they can give it a go.

As always, have an excellent weekend, if you possibly can (can) 😀

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation #dance #silly #drawing

Drawn animation loop with 35 simple drawn figures each doing a difference dance move on clouds against a teal backdrop. Some dances are quite good. Proficient even. Others are... not. The new dancer for this week is larger on screen, on a central cloud with a rainbow appearing and disappearing behind them, sparkling as it goes. The other 34 dancers are smaller, on one of 5 other clouds.

Week 33 of adding a dancer a week to the #FridaySparklyDancers and this one answers an important question:

What would it look like if someone with bendy joint-less arms tried to do big fish, little fish, cardboard box?

And with that... have a good weekend if you possibly can 😃

#sillyScribbles #animation #dance #silly #drawing

Drawn animation loop. Four planets, nearly white but with a hint of rotating disco ball, sit in a purple sky with twinkling stars. One planet, low in the screen, has the week 33 dancer on it and a rainbow moves around it, led by sparkles. There are three other planets which have the previous 32 dancers standing on them.
