Well, it’s not to say we’ve finished with the cleaning up.
But, we do have a small workspace now, and barring a sudden windfall to purchase a bunch more organizational materials, the rest of the plans to re-organize the garage will have to wait until next year. In the spring, we’ll be doing some work in the shed, which will lead to even more room, but it has to wait until I can move out all the patio furniture to work in there.
So, after a weekend of getting everything as set as it’s going to get for a few months, it’s time to look forward at what the first project is going to be.
This is the time of year I like to try out NEW things. That way, if it falls totally apart, I can fall back on my tried and true methods later.
Years ago, I learned to make molds around this time, for instance. Last year, we tried our hand at animating props…and utterly failed.
It’s time to revisit that idea of animation, and this time with more than an idea of how it should work. I’ve been reading over a MARVELOUS site for animation over at Johnny’s Ghosts. Now, I’m not really needing those ghosts in particular, but if I can figure out the ins and outs of his puppetry, we can use the idea to our own purposes.
