this is my most recent test. the instruction was to do an ease in and ease out test with a tail. i had to do it blind again (son shamus is still working on the set to finish up his stop mo school project) but it's not that many frames so it wasn't a big problem. i'm very much looking forward to getting back to pushing some puppets and using a frame-grabber again though!

i also made some set props for dressing the dog set: ducks, electric box for the wall, dog bowls (one strong one for sitting there and one malliable one for Gerald the dog to chew up), another padlock for the gate, etc. i love sculpy, so much fun to play with (and we discovered something called "sculpy clay softener" which makes the old dried up or too hard sculpy soft and mushy again and makes my fingers happy.)
