Tacky Tuesday - Old Man Painting

I just bought this framed painting yesterday at my local thrift shop. I don't know who this man is but we have started to call him Captain Mel. I love finding painted portraits. It makes me wonder who the person is, who painted them, and why did it end up in a thrift store?

Stop Motion Animation - Wire Puppet Build

Moving forward on my stop motion project I've been researching ways of building figures. You can buy armature kits, but they can be as much as $150! Seeing as how my budget for this entire project is about $50 I needed something much cheaper. I found a tutorial online and built an armature using wire and epoxy putty, it cost me $8.00. By the way, epoxy putty is awesome and I will be sure to keep some in my tool box from now on.
